Do You Like Being Outdoors? Why or Why Not?

Do You Like Being Outdoors? Why or Why Not?

A Story by Arizona Hidalgo-Crowe

Yes! I love being outdoors. I love doing various things outside such as camping, swimming, going for walks, attending picnics, and more. Despite all those things I've listed, my main favorite things to do outside are reading, writing, and being creative. I really love going to a pool to not only swim, but to also lay back on a towel or chair to read a good book. Being at the pool also gives me good inspiration for books I should write. There is this one book I'm hoping to write that was inspired by hanging out at a pool. I don't want to reveal too much about that book idea because I'll be getting off track, so I can write a separate writing explaining the whole idea. Anyways, back to the outdoors. Camping is so much fun. sitting around a campfire, roasting Marshmallows over the fire, telling stories, and just plain having fun. Camping is like a temporary escape from life... It's a fun thing mostly everyone can enjoy. Going for walks, or simply exercising is a great thing to do when out in the great outdoors. There is an endless list of exercises and stretches you can do out there. Want to go bike riding? Awesome! Just find a nice sidewalk or bike path, and then bike away. Want to play basketball? Perfect! find a park with a basketball court, and then you're all set. See? the options are endless! I heard that just taking a simple walk can help you feel more calm and relaxed. I should also mention that It has worked for me a lot this past year. It may not help everyone, but It's a good way to get out of the house for a while. Are you a gamer who can't seem to go anywhere without a game? Well, try this mobile app called Pokemon Go. This app allows you to catch Pokemon, battle gyms, and to go outside while still playing a game. Just be careful though! Don't want to get lost, or end up somewhere you're not allowed to go Make sure you be aware of your surroundings so that you don't get hit by cars or again... end up somewhere you're not supposed to. It's a free app on the Google Play Store, so feel free to check it out for yourself. Ah yes! attending a picnic. How fun! It is so much fun attending picnics. community picnics or just private picnics you've been invited to are absolutely fun! You get to eat, socialize, and enjoy being outside. If you rather keep to yourself then socialize, you can bring a book or something to keep you entertained. Just like I try to do. Just be careful not to get your book or whatever full of food.... especially if it's a library book. Also, be sure to say hello to people who greet you. You never want to ignore them because that would be just rude. If someone starts a conversation with you, be sure to listen while you do what you're doing. If someone asks you "Hey. are you listening?" just tell them that you are, but you're also multitasking. Try to be polite to the other picnic members because maybe the person who invited you would like you to attend another picnic. If picnics are not your thing, then maybe you can go swimming! Going swimming is fun! in a pool or at the beach, Swimming is a great form of exercise too. An example of a great day outdoors would be to go swimming, and then go get ice cream afterwards. That sounds fun huh? It sure does! Just remember water safety rules so that you can have a nice safe swim. Make sure you figure out how deep in the pool you can go. You want to be sure that you can swim safely and comfortably without increasing the possibility of drowning. If you have kids, be sure to stay with them or keep an eye on them at all times. If you don't feel like swimming, you can always just lay out a towel to just relax on. If you're a writer like me, you can also take a notebook so you can get inspiration for stories or poems. If you are spending time in a private pool, you can basically do what you desire. Want music while you swim? Sure! just have a radio or other music source on the grass, and a safe distance away from your pool! Swimming is a great way to stay cool on those hot days of summer! My favorite season by the way! If none of the things I talked about capture your attention, then maybe you just need to find other ways to enjoy being outdoors. Maybe go fishing, watch a parade, go horseback riding, or even attend a public event going on near you! The possibilities are endless! I bet you can find something out in nature you'd enjoy. I'm sure I enjoy doing a lot of things outdoors even though I am a gamer, writer, artist, and vocalist. I hope you enjoy this, and have a good day.
