It seems that it is getting harder and harder for families to find time to spend together. Between work and school and church activities that each member of the family commits to, it can seem tough to just “be a family.” Once you lose communication, you can lose touch with each other very quickly. Make time for your family again and at least once a month try to schedule a family getaway that includes outdoor recreation such as swimming, hiking, hunting and fishing.

At least once a month, more often if you can get everyone’s schedule aligned, plan on taking an outing that will include every member of the family. Even the family dog can tag along! Make some hard fast rules for taking a family trip together. Ensure that video games, portable DVD players, CD players, iPods, laptops and other electronic equipment are left at home.

Books, magazines and reading material is fine for the drive. Ditch everyone’s cell phones at home except for your own and your spouse’s. That way, in case of an emergency, you’ll still be able to communicate. Make a solemn promise to yourself, no business calls and no text messages while you’re on family time. Try to include outdoor recreation fun that everyone can enjoy such as boating, skiing, hunting and fishing.
