When was the last time you had a family gathering? In addition to the major holidays, our family gets together several times a year. We have a blast! Whether its hanging out with my parents and sisters for a night of poker or going camping on Memorial Day Weekend, it’ time well spent.
We have had Halloween parties at my parents house and St Patrick’s Day parties at my sisters home. In the summer, we have cookouts, pool parties and go camping together.
In the past, we managed to get everyone together for a yard cleanup day at my grandparents house, not once, but twice! We worked all day and then cooked out on the grill. Everyone had fun working together and we accomplished an unbelievable amount of work!
For the really adventurous, you could rent a vacation home together! Several years ago, we rented a beach house in Duck, NC. We had four generations living under one roof for a week! For the less daring, you could start off small with a Saturday night card game. It doesn’t matter what you do, it’s the quality time spent together interacting and bonding that counts.
Here is a short list to get your ideas flowing:
- Have a cookout
- Go out to dinner
- Throw a pool party
- Plan a camping trip
- Rent a vacation house
- Plan a surprise party
- Have a game night
- Arrange a cleanup party
- Plan a family vacation
I hope this has been helpful and will inspire you!
