When I was a kid I remember loving to roll down hills in the soft summer grass. My mom? Not so much. Here's an easy activity, brought to you by tired parents, that will be a hit with the kids and adults alike.
First, you need to find a good hill to roll down.... a hill that is good for tobogganing will also be good for rolling. Park the parents at the bottom of the hill (unless you want to roll down too). The object of the game is to be the first to return to the parent at the bottom of the hill... after completing a series of simple challenges set out by their parents.

The pandemic lockdowns have allowed us to find more ways to get out and enjoy the Great Outdoors!
That being said, tick season has been in full-force since the beginning of Spring, and Eastern Ontario, including Ottawa, has been designated a high-risk area for tick-borne illness. Taking your dog for a run in the field, hiking off the beaten-path through tall grass, or just doing more yard work can put you at risk of Lyme disease. (Lyme disease is spread to humans through the bite of an infected blacklegged tick.)
