Fun And Affordable Young Family Events Matthews NC Has To Offer

By Mary Turner


Families today have a lot of individual responsibilities that can pull them apart. Parents have busy work schedules. Kids go to school all day, have homework at night, and participate in sports and other after school activities. Before you know it, the kids are grown up and everyone regrets the opportunities they missed to spend valuable family time together. Instead of regrets, it's a much better idea to plan some fun young family events Matthews NC has to offer.

It's always fun when families can do something that can be a learning experience and a lot of fun at the same time. You don't have to spend a fortune doing things together either. You can pile everybody in the car and head for the nearest fruit farm or orchard to pick whatever is in season.

Kids will appreciate what they eat more if they know where it came from. They might enjoy making the decisions about how to prepare the fruit and vegetables they are picking once everyone gets home and starts dinner. Cooking together is a good way to extend the fun spent during the day and make a special meal at the same time.

Somebody may want to make ice cream from the berries in their pails. This is another great activity families can enjoy together. Once again it isn't necessary to go out and purchase an expensive ice cream churn.

This can be a learning experience for your kids. Using sugar, milk, berries, ice, rock salt or coarse salt, and storage bags, you can demonstrate how liquid turns into a solid. It will take about fifteen minutes of everyone continuously shaking the bag to finish the job.

If you have the chance, taking a ride in a hot air balloon is an experience none of you will soon forget. Seasonal festivals and state fairs sometimes have companies that will take families up for affordable and once in a lifetime rides. Your kids will have the opportunity to see their world in a totally different way. If this is your first experience flying in the air, you will be amazed by the grandeur of the earth.

Another great way to spend the afternoon is to set out on a picnic adventure. Supporting state parks isn't expensive, and they usually offer man made and natural lakes you can enjoy. You might rent some kayaks, a canoe, or paddle boat for a few hours and set sail for a secluded island or shady area where you can lay out the feast you packed in your baskets before you left the house.

On a particularly starry night, you might decide to gather everyone together and take a long walk with a book of constellations. Kids will have fun discovering images in the sky they have never noticed before. You may have noticed that none of these activities involve video games, cell phones, social media, or air conditioning. They are simple, inexpensive ways to come together as a family and make memories.
