What else can I do in my town?
There's so much!
But for this post I am going a few hours outside of my town. (THIS IS ACTUALLY FOR TWO POSTS!)
Recently we went to my step-sister's volleyball tournament to kick off her senior year season. She was awesome, as were the rest of her team. It got me thinking about how we so often take advantage of all the free or inexpensive events that take place in our own hometowns.
She lives really far from us, and we obviously can't drive six hours to go to a volleball game or watch her dance in drill team, and I don't have any family that does those things where I live. What I do have is an insanely loud voice and too much passion when watching sports. (YES, I am one of those crazy people that you stare at and pray you aren't there with) (and so is my husband, one of the oodles of reasons I love him)
There are many games and events you can go to to cheer on your home team. TOWN PRIDE! You need practice for when your kids are old enough to play and to get them excited about sports and wanting to engage in physical activity. (Which in and of itself is amazingly good for their health and self esteem) So, next time you are "bored" and there's "nothing to do where I live", look up to see if there's any tournaments of your local schools, or games. Go cheer! Teach your kids to be good sports, and wahoo, there's popcorn and hot dogs! AWESOME!
So, now... #5
My sister's tournament was in this awesome little town I lived in for only one year as a kid. It was awesome to go back for a couple days, and the memories that came back. It was a kick for me. More importantly, this town, Saratoga, is known for it's natural hot springs. I know this is unique but, we just have to drive a couple hours and there are free hot springs, which are smelly but soothing, and a really cool natural occurance. Not many people can say they have sat in a God made hot tub that could fit all their relatives too! It was fun, and the resort there has the hotter little pools covered by teepees, which is a little cute and romantic too. So, what is a natural wonder in your area! I guarantee there are a few!! Which... will be part of tomorrow's post... GOTTA GET BACK TO HOMEWORK NOW!! Have a splendid day!
