When it comes to being active as a family, one of our favorite things to do is a race. Races can be very inspiring and the energy at these events is something that has to be experienced. Calgary plays host to races almost every weekend, so there are many opportunities to participate as a family. But with so many different races being offered, it can be daunting to try and find one that matches a family best.
Oh hello, Spring! It’s been a while, hasn’t it? It’s so nice to have you back in town, bringing along the sunshine, warmth and rain that we’ve missed so much (and with that, all of the flowers, leaves and grass that come next). Now that you’re here, it’s time for us to enjoy the season, spend quality time with our families and save some money while we’re at it. Here are 10 fun, budget-friendly family activities to try out this Spring:
The excitement of the holiday break from school wanes quickly for tweens and teens. Often stretching out too long, we’re left to figure out how to combat sibling squabbles and the constant lure of technology until our kids return to school. So when you sense the sibling onslaught about to begin or you watch your child head to a game console one more time, offer another suggestion.
Do you have a child that is still a little less than enthused about playing in the snow and getting outside in winter? Maybe it’s you the parent that would honestly prefer to hibernate until late April at least. There’s a lot to dislike about the colder temperatures from the tripled time it takes to dress the kids to wind chill, slippery pathways and shoveling sidewalks for six+ months. Fortunately, winter can also be a lot of fun and by trying some of these activities, you can learn to love the season as much as we do.
