Father's Day Idea # 3 - Take a Hike or Go for a Bike

Continuing with our ideas of things to do with Dad on Father's Day, we suggest getting out and exploring nature.

There are many different ways that you can do this but we suggest, getting some exercise while you spend time with Dad.

One of the best things you can do is go for a hike or a bike ride through a trail, along a lake or in your local park. This can lead to a full day's worth of quality time with Dad.

Here is a great day plan:

First, wake up early and have a small breakfast to get yourself ready for the day. Pack your Airstream Backpack with all of the things that you are going to need for the day. You'll need some sunscreen, a camera, lunch, a compass (just in case), your cell phone, a couple of hats and some bottles of water to keep you hydrated.

Next, make sure that wherever you decide to go, you know the area fairly well or you get enough information about the area to know how long the trail should take you to walk or bike. When you get there, start out on your adventure. The whole idea of this activity is that you get to spend time with your Dad and enjoy nature. Remember to take lots of  pictures. Part of the experience is stopping and making sure to take it all in.

When you start to get hungry, stop and find a good place to take a break. Enjoy the food that you packed and make sure to take all of your garbage with you. This is a good time to make sure that you are hydrated properly and check out the pictures that you have taken.

When you're finished lunch, pack up all of your belongings and get back to the trail. Bike until you and your Dad are tired or have had enough and head home to the rest of the family.
