The winter is an amazing time of year, but warmth is something that I love. I love the things you are able to do in the warmth unlike the cold. Warm days are what I look forward to after just a few days of cold, because why be cold when you can be warm. There are a few particular things I look forward to with the warmth on its way.
1. Sports
My favorite sports are played/ran in warm weather. Yes, it is fun to watch sports like hockey and basketball, but I would much rather be outside practicing for the game I love most which is football.
2. Working Outside
I am the kind of person that doesn’t take kindly to being indoors all the time. I can only work inside for a short period of time before I start thinking to myself that I need to go out and do something. I love working outside with my hands, so I can make things happen instead of just sitting inside waiting for things to happen.
3. Shooting Guns
Though there are shooting ranges you can go to that are indoors, outdoor shooting is much more fun. Shooting guns outdoors is not only more fun, but it is also a lot quieter. The only problem with shooting guns outdoors is when it gets cold so do your fingers making it harder and harder to shoot guns outside.
4. Swimming
Swimming when it is warm out is amazing. You get to cool off and you can also have some fun depending on where you are. At our home pool we have a little basketball hoop that we can shoot at. The hoop is fun and a good way to relax with friends and family. The best part of swimming is how it relieves all of your tension, because it relaxes your muscles and takes pressure off of your joints.
5. Bike Rides
Though I don’t go biking too much I have found in the past that sometimes you just need to take time to be on your own just riding around thinking. It also gives you time to just relax on your own.
6. Driving With The Windows Down
It may be something that is a little insignificant, but just cruising around with some friends and the windows down means you are in for a good time.
7. Mudding
This may be something that not many people do, but it’s fun throwing some mud every once in awhile. The only problem with mudding is the clean up afterwards, or you could just leave it on showing people your accomplishment of covering your truck in some mud.
8. Fires
Yes, it is already warm outside, but sitting by the fire with some friends is always a good way to have some fun and relax. Having a few s'mores by the fire is pretty great too.
9. BBQ
No matter who you are you can't say that you don't enjoy a good barbeque. Barbeque is something that everyone loves. It is even better when you have friends over to enjoy it with you outside.
Like I have said in the past winter is an amazing time but there are some pros when it gets warmer. Enjoy the things you do inside right now, but enjoy being outside as well when it gets warmer. I can’t wait for the day to come, and I hope you can’t either.
