**This Weeks Outdoor Fun Suggestion**
This weekend is looking particularly lovely according to KSL. I would definitely support getting your family outside for some much needed Vitamin D.
Park Picnic
Cost: cost of food!
Pack up your kids or loved one and your best park blanket. Given the fact that we just passed memorial weekend there are still a lot of great sales in the stores for picnic foods, paper plates and all the needs to this venture. Pack up your frisbee, bring your dog, make an event of it. If it's just you and your sweetheart make it special by bringing champagne glasses and beverage of your choice to fill them... go at sunset and pick a park with a good view of the valley.
**This Weeks Indoor Suggestion**
Just in case you cannot get out due to transportation or any other reason I can think of, it's always good to have something to do at home to break the monotony.
Casino Party
Cost: as little or as much as you want!
All you need for this is a deck of cards. If you want to do this with your family, you can always do it with go fish, or other child oriented card game. Play for M&M's, chores, or even play for a prize :)
If you're playing with your friends you can use poker chips (you can get plastic ones at Wal*Mart for a few dollars) and either play just for fun, or put a little wager in there (everyone throws in a dollar). Or you can even play with pennies, or food. Have your friends bring a dish to share, or beer (if you drink).
You can enhance the experience by decorating accordingly. Get out the x-mas lights, make a cute sign with glitter, however the moment moves you.
**Local Business Suggestion for the Week**
Living Planet Aquarium
Cost:
$9 for adults
$8 for seniors, students and military
$7 children (3 to 17)
Ages 2 and under are FREE
This place is fantastic at any age. Even as an adult, seeing the sting-rays feels amazing to me. I would suggest it for anyone. Kids, especially seem to enjoy it. There is a lot of kids to do there, and a lot of the exhibits are very informative or interactive. It's growing every day too, so if you've been there in the past there may be something fun and new there that you and/or your family could enjoy.
