Bringing the Family Together

Need a fun end of the summer activity that brings the whole family together? I have a great idea!

This past weekend I went fishing with my family for the first time! It was so much fun and very relaxing. We all had a great time and got a chance to visit before things started to get crazy! Spending time with family is very important to me.

Choose a day, that isn't to hot or humid, to go to a local forest preserve. Pick a spot with a good sized lake that has picnic tables fairly close to the lake. Whoever has a fishing license should bring their poles. If you don't have a licences you can pick one up for $15 at your local Wal-Mart or gun emporium. (Yes, I know, that sounds a little funny) But, if you don't have a license you can get fined quiet a bit of money. (In case you were wondering....the money goes to the fund to re-stock fish in all of the lakes every year)

Have each family bring a dish to pass, picnic style of course. And make sure you have a spot with a grill. It would be fun to bring some picnic style games as well. Like...Bago, ladder golf, Frisbee or wiffel ball. There will be something there for everyone!

Just sit back, relax and enjoy the day with each other. Sometimes the most fun you have is just sitting around and catching up!

Mypersonalizedprint.com has great personalized placemats. We even have a forest themed placemat with a fishing bear! Perfect for your family fishing outing or afterwords to keep the memory fresh!
