Lots of time at the park and pool
- We spend all morning on Saturdays at the park or the pool, swimming and running around. By lunch time everyone has burned off a ton of calories. And had a lot of fun!

Family Walks
- We like to go for walks in the evening. It's good for us (and our dog!), and it enables us to talk about the day's events and bond as a family. And, best of all, it's free!

Frozen Grapes
- Each night, after homework is done, we all gather in the den for our newest family ritual - a big bowl of frozen grapes. So much healthier than the old cookies and milk routine!
