Choose things that are meaningful to your family
When I asked my children what things would make this spring most meaningful to them, I got a variety of answers:
- My social butterflies suggested setting up an outdoor movie night for friends and neighbors,hosting a board game night with friends, inviting a family from church over for dinner, and attending a barn dance.
- My history buff wants to watch Gettysburg, read Across Five Aprils, attend a Civil War re-enactment, and sew some authentic Union uniforms for an Antebellum dance.
- The athletes favor competing in a triathlon, hosting a ping-pong tournament, playing ultimate Frisbee with friends, and hiking into the wilderness for a few days with a 20-pound pack.
- And I’d like to plant a vegetable garden, paint a mural on the wall behind our house, organize the garage, and do a thorough spring cleaning of every nook and cranny of our house.
