Fun Outdoor Activities for Family Road Trips

Are your kids whining on family trips? Maybe it’s because Mom and Dad forgot something… Fun! 👉Here’s your packing list to add some fun free outdoor kid time during road trips! Yes, some kids are just whiny. (Never mine, of course 🤦🏼‍♀️ ). But sometimes, they just need to play. On family vacations, I’m the one that does the travel planning. I’ve had to learn to slow down. And add in kid activities. As my snarky 14 year old reminds me… They all just start to look like the same old building and museums after awhile. . 1️⃣ Bring the scooters and skateboards. Wheels are great for getting around big parks, and lots of towns these days have a skateboard park. Great way to wear them out quickly. 😉Get the foldable scooters to take up less space! 👉Don’t forget the helmets. . 2️⃣ Look for disc golf courses. Lots of towns have these now too. And usually they’re free and connected with the park you’ll go to afterward. Check out @udiscapp to help find them near you. 👉Even if you don’t do the discs, these are often great walking trails. Just look out for flying objects! . 3️⃣ Hunt for a GeoCache. While these are often more off-the -beaten path, it’s a great way to add some in a team project with this modern-day treasure hunt. 👉Download the free @geocaching app. And get wandering. . 4️⃣ Take up pickle ball! Easy to pack, free, and good for all ages. We’re a new pickle ball family, but now we play several times a week at the local court. Think lazy tennis 😁. Smaller courts and less bouncy balls means you don’t spend you day chasing balls. 👉Don’t be scared off by the prices of a family pack. Check out super-affordable @bigdillpickleball ; you’ll love the fun design too. . . . 🥳Bonus tip: Come back here next week - First week in March - for an amazing giveaway where @bigdill is giving away a pair of pickle ball paddles to give of my lucky followers!! This fun family activity could be in your trunk ready for your next family adventure. . . . . . #roadschooling #roadschool #familyfuntime #familyactivities #outdoorfamily #childhoodunplugged #pickleballrocks #pickleballislife #geocache #discgolfing #familytravel #travelmom #travelfam . .
