Method 1 of 7: Cleaning for the New Year

Method 2 of 7: Outdoor Activities
Step 1. Get out of the house
You've been sitting at home all winter. So grab a bike and ride in your neighborhood. Take a friend or two for a hike up the mountain. Head to the beach, lake or ocean to swim and sunbathe. Visit the park for a jog or brisk walk. Take your dog (or neighbor's dog) for a walk.
Go skate. This activity is fun and healthy
Step 2. Go camping
Bring some friends and pitch a tent somewhere. You can camp in the yard, the open field (if allowed), or the campground. Make sure you bring the necessary equipment and don't get caught in the rain without being able to do anything. Try camping by the lake for beautiful views and great swimming spots. Camping is not complete without swimming.
Step 3. Play in the water
Get your garden hose or sprinkler out if you can't get to a lake, river, or pool. You will feel like a child again.
- Buy a children's pool. This pool is indeed made for children, but who says adults can't use it? Apply sunscreen, wear sunglasses, play music and relax in the pool. Here's a frugal way to cool off in the summer.
- Buy, borrow or rent a Slip N Slide. The Slip N Slide is a yellow object that is spread across the yard and watered with a hose. This is a fun activity to do with friends. Turn on the water tap and skate. Don't forget to take pictures!
Step 4. Go camping for a few days
Campgrounds are great places to meet new friends. What's more, you can choose from a variety of campsites.
