1. Hiking- I love to hike. I love being out in nature, no cell phones and computers, no traffic and trains, just peace and quite (except for nature sounds of course). East Tennessee is a great place to go hiking and if you can't think of a new place to go check out this blog.
The best part; it's free. Sure you can make an argument that you need proper clothing, water bottles and hiking boots. Bologna, put on whatever you have, find a container that can hold water and start walking.

2. Water- Currently I'm dreaming of summer. A time when things are warmer, when I don't have to wear five layers of clothes to still feel my toes. Water is one of those resources that you just can't live without, even if you don't "like the taste." (It doesn't taste like anything, whats not to like?)
I'm clearly talking about a lake or river, not the stuff that flows out of your faucet, that costs money. Swimming is free (and good for you) so is splashing, jumping and cannon balls.

3. Board Games- Something my family never did and always wanted to do was have family game night. Mostly because the Milton-Bradley commercials always showed really happy families laughing and hugging while they played Monopoly and Connect Four. We tried it once, which ended in a big FAIL. It was a nice thought though that I suggest for everyone else!
What's that you say?
Board games cost money?
Well not if you play this one. I love mancala and it teaches kids (and adults) how to count and strategize.
