To stay in the black but still have a fun family weekend, try one or more of the following activities. LIVING ROOM CAMPING Set up the tent and roll out some sleeping bags for a living room camp- out. Heat up s'mores in the microwave, gather your flashlights and lanterns, then play cards or share spooky stories in the tent. SCAVENGER HUNT Print out a written or picture list of things to find around the neighbourhood for each family member. Once all the items have been located, head back home and use them in a craft or display them in a clear vase or jar. MAKE A MOVIE Give each family member an opportunity to participate -- behind and in front of the camera -- in the making of a home movie. On- screen acts might include musical performances, choreographed dances, comedy skits, puppet shows and in- depth interviews. Afterwards you can make some popcorn and enjoy your masterpiece. VISIT THE LIBRARY Check out books, DVDs, CDs and games and then spend the rest of the weekend enjoying the borrowed items. HAVE A BAKE-OFF Make a cake batter and then divvy it between family members and allow each individual to tweak it to their liking. Bake the cakes in small separate pans and then let everyone decorate theirs with individually selected toppings. Family fun on the longweekend doesn't have to cost you an arm and a leg. Simply spending time together is all it takes to make memories you'll cherish for years to come. Family Day February 18, 20 19 205-16Mountainview Rd S.
