   05 Quality Time on the Weekend

Do you have any plans for the weekend? I hope you do, if you don't check out the culture page in your local paper or on the internet or just sit down and think of something that you want to do.

I hope to go on a small road trip this weekend. I have a few ideas but my wife and I haven't decided 1 exactly where to go. What you do on the weekend obviously 2 depends on the weather, if it's nice and warm outside we often play in the water. This means that we could have a water fight with squirt guns outside the house or we could go to the ocean and splash 3 in the water there. When it's really cold, we'd like to go sliding, you can pay and go on man made slopes but we like to grab 4 a bar and slide down the slipper 5 slope with the neighborhood's kids. So what's going to be this weekend, indoor stuff 6, boring, shopping, walking around the music or outdoor stuff, going for a hike or simply a walk? Of course you can always stay at home and play a ballgame or watch a family video altogether. Sometimes we buy a Jigsaw 7 Puzzle and put it together on the kitchen table, we are just talking to each other it's nice to work together as a team.

I hope to spend some quality times with my family even it's for short time. I want to focus on the quality. I hope you and your love ones also agree to spend some quality time together. It's not just how much time you spend with someone, but how well you spend the time with that person that counts. It's the quality not the quantity that's important. Remember, if you don't have a plan for the weekend yet, take the moment and make one.
