• Have a picnic * even if you eat in the backyard, pack your meal in a basket and put out a blanket to sit on
• Camp out * state parks are a bargain, and the backyard is free – sing around the campfire, catch fireflies, tell ghost stories, play flashlight tag
• Visit a historical site or monument * learn a little about our nation’s history
• Gather family and friends for some games * frisbee, croquet, wakeboarding, bocce ball, badminton, softball, surfing, volleyball, horseshoes, shuffleboard, hopscotch, basketball, waterskiing, tag … and more!
• See a parade – or walk in one * community fun at its finest
• Take a hike * enjoy a small part of the country
• Take a road trip * see the U.S.A., even if you don’t drive a Chevrolet
• Hear a band * get dancing at a music festival, or tune in to the (classic) Boston Pops concert
• See the fireworks * of course!
