August is Family Fun Month

In celebration for the Family Fun Month, and before the summer is over let’s enjoy time together the next school year begins.  There are many beneficial activities for our bodies and minds that can involve the entire family.  Depending on the sport or exercise we choose to do, this can get us motivated to try harder and to compete among family members.   Some examples of either indoor or outdoor activities are dancing parties, bowling,  riding our bikes  in the park, taking a walk, hiking, or even having a picnic. Other activities equally enjoyable for all that don’t include exercise are cooking healthful meals, reading a book, trimming bushes and trees or gardening herbs or vegetables.  All of these activities encourage all the members of the family to a more and fructiferous getaways together.  In this way, we are moving in the direction of a healthier lifestyles and promoting harmony among family members.
