**This Weeks Outdoor Fun Suggestion**
This weekend is again going to be another fantastic forecast. Let's make sure we all get out and take advantage of it!
Potluck BBQ
Cost: cost of food!
Get together with friends or family this weekend for a BBQ. You can do this at home, or pack up a little hibachi grill and take it to the park. A lot of parks (liberty included) have plenty of un-rented spaces that you can do this if you don't have the space at home or at a friend's.
To keep the cost low, let everyone bring their own meat and a side of their choosing. Good home-cooked food in your guts will make you feel great! It's also always a pleasure to see friends or family.
**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.
Movie Night
Cost: as little or as much as you want!
This can be done alone, with a couple, with a family or even as a party. If being done with you and a significant other, I would probably suggest keeping it simple. Cute romantic comedy, and popcorn should do the trick
If being done mainly for the kids, make sure to get lots of snacks! Cinema foods are the best. Popcorn is a good cheap snack, or giant pretzles from the frozen foods section of your local grocery store. You can have them make their own movie tickets earlier in the day, for an extra activity and require they be presented. Sheet off the doors, and set it up as though it were a real theater.
You can also do this with adults. Find a theme for whatever movie you're watching, and decorate accordingly, also coordinating the food and drinks. Don't hesitate to ask your friends to bring food or drinks to chip in, this keeps it affordable for everyone.
