With fall upon us here in Central Texas (well, for the next couple days), this is a perfect opportunity to get outside more with your kids. After picking them up from school or after work, there is still plenty of daylight for outdoor activities. And with cooler temperatures, there is no need to wait for the sun to go down. Set aside 30 minutes and enjoy a break from the demanding summer heat.
Some great options are taking a walk in the neighborhood, heading to any number of Austin parks, like Tarrytown Park, or even kicking a soccer ball around in the backyard. All these are fun options, that help children and adults take away from the mental strains of the day, as well as, give the body some much needed exercise. And you never know, you could go start a trend with other parents or kids, and they might become involved too!
