Plan a Mini Road Trip- Typically, when we think of weekend activities it's something close by but why not mix it up every now and then. Getting out of town can be the perfect setting for communication, relaxation, and exploration when done properly. Always plan ahead to ensure everything runs smoothly, pack plenty of snacks, lastly make sure the destination is appropriate for the age range of children that will be present.
· Have a game night- Playing games is always a fun way to end any day. It allows you to spend quality time together while introducing a little family friendly competition.
