10 ways to have more fun outside.

Have you ever found yourself wanting to go outside but find yourself without anything to do? Maybe your parents told you to go outside. Here are some ways to be outside without having to do either of those.
1. Find the perfect climbing tree.
2. Maybe talk your parents into going to a state or national park.                             
3. Go run, bike, skateboard, hop around your neighborhood or any place you can.
4. Go fishing or if there is no place to fish grab a fishing pole or a broom handle with some string on it and try to fish something out of a bucket.
5. Maybe help out and pull the weeds out of the garden or any yard work.
6. Sit in the grass and watch the clouds.
7. Play basketball or football with a friend.
8. Since its hot outside right now you can turn on the water hose. or you can get a bunch of water balloons and invite your friends over for a water balloon war.
9. Sit down anywhere you want like in a tree or on your front porch or in the grass and read a book.    
10. Grab some Nerf guns or air soft guns (make sure you have on eye protection and thick clothes those air soft guns hurt) and have a battle.

That is 10 ways to be outside and not be in the garage playing your DS or being outside without anything to do. 



                           

Balancing your electronic and outdoors time

I have a time limit on my computer only 2 hours of computer time a day but i don't have to use all of it or any of it. Most kids and teens spend all or most of their free time on electronics (computers,cell phones,TV,Xbox,Wii,etc.) and not outside, with their family or anything non electronic.This is bad for them and bad for the environment. It's bad for them because the won't get any exercise and might not choose the healthiest of foods.It's bad for the environment because that is alot of energy wasted. I challenge you to try to unplug your computers and TV, don't text or make non-emergency calls and go outside,spend some time with your family ,study,go hang out with some friends anything non electronic for 2 days a week and then start doing that every week.(plus it will cut down on your parents electric bill) good luck have fun
P.S swimming might be a good choice right now lol  

Why I made this blog

I made this blog as a girl scout journey project. The journey i worked on was the Cadette media journey. I learned about how things in the media can affect you in many ways (good or bad) and how to balance my electronic time and my outdoors/reading/etc. time. I needed more time outside and things so the rest of my postings will be about how to balance your time and things kids can do to help with the planet help others and do good things. enjoy.
