The Washington Post recently ran a story with some great suggestions on inexpensive ways to get kids outdoors and moving!   Here are a few of my favorite tips:

1.  Take advantage of county, state and national park systems!  Many offer guided hikes, canoe trips and fun places to explore.

2.  Pack a picnic lunch and head out to the beach or a park.  Get everyone playing together then enjoy a healthy picnic together.

3.  Try geocashiing!  Get clues online at geocashing.com to find hidden treasures left by ordinary folks, sometimes in out-of-the-way places, sometimes in plain view!

4.  Go to a pick-your-own farm.  Check out pickyourown.org for farms close by!

Enjoy!
