I’ve been thinking that a monthly challenge for K and I to change and reflect upon some aspect of our lifestyle might prove a gainful experience, so for the month of August we’re challenging ourselves to spend our Saturdays outdoors. We’ll get up, get ready, gather our things, then turn off the computer and TV and head out for a day-long outdoors adventure.
The ideas behind this challenge are to get us out of the climate-controlled boxes we sit in all week at work, to actually experience what’s going on outside, and to just enjoy the rest of summer while we can. I’m sure we’ll find some great festivals to go to, or we can just read or play games in the park near us. I’ll write updates as to how the challenge is going, and I encourage you to join us with your own outdoor plans on Saturdays this month!
