As many long weekends approach throughout the spring and summer seasons, here are 3 activities that you can do with friends, family or even on your own. 

  1. Fruit Picking 

As the beautiful weather finally returns to Ontario, so does fresh fruit. Farms such as Downey’s Farms or Robintide Farms have a wide variety of both fruits and vegetables that you can hand-pick this year. It is a great way to get outside and experience a new atmosphere. 

  1. Have a Picnic 

With a group of people or by yourself, you can make a day out of going on a picnic. First go to the store to pick up or make your favourite snacks, drinks and a blanket to lay on the grass. Then bring some books, a board game or a ball for entertainment while you are there. For some added excitement you and your friends and family can agree upon a theme for the picnic that you all can participate in. Some theme ideas can include only bright-coloured foods or matching your clothes to the food item you bring. 

  1. Bullet Journal 

A calming activity you can do on your own is bullet journaling. With bullet journaling, all you need is a blank notebook and the rest is up to your imagination. You can customize it in any way you like by adding personalized spreads and trackers. Pinterest is a great place to explore a variety of different themes and possibilities that you can add to your bullet journal. For some company, invite a friend to bullet journal with you.
