My girls used to spend a lot of time indoors during the summer months. I was the same way not wanting to get all hot and sweaty but I think it really had to do more or less with lack of motivation. Last summer I decided to change it all. We were going to have more fun in the sun. Going to the park was fun and all but I felt it did not bring us closer as a family. One girl was on the swings while the other was on the slide. It was fun and yes we were getting more excursive but not as a family. Here are some tips I have used to help make being outdoors both healthy and family friendly.

3 Outdoor fun ideas:

1. If you are a very competitive family, and know of a similar family, try getting together over the summer and arrange games. For example each family can be a baseball team. Every sunday you can arrange a time and place to play. Over the course of 6 weeks, the best out of 6 will be the winner. The loosing family might want to celebrate by hosting a BBQ for the winning team. It can be fun to play with neighbors. 
2. If you are less into sports, try setting up a small game among your family. For example if it is basket ball, just practice running around an outdoor court shooting the steeling the ball from each other. It will be a lot of fun to play sports with your family. I like to think of it as a no competition sporting event. You can end off the day with a watermelon picnic.
3. For the family who is not into sports try doing what we do. On sunday, I take my girls to the park with some equipment. Instead of having a game, we have fun practicing a small part of a sport. For example with tennis, we just hit the ball back and forth on a hard surface. For baseball, we hit the ball of a tee and see who can run and pick it up fast.
