Father's Day Activities

However you're spending Father's Day this year, these tips will help create a fun-filled and memorable day.

1.

Start the day by making brunch. Whether you have an active day ahead, or a breakfast in bed is more the pace you have in mind, taking the time to make a morning meal will start the day off right.

2.

Father's Day is a perfect time to go hiking. Hit the trails at your local parks or point out a hiking destination on the map and make a day trip out of it.

3.

For dinner, make your dad's favorite meal. If the weather permits, take your dinner outside for an early summer backyard picnic.

4.

Gather 'round the family, team up, and have a game night.

5.

Host a movie night, either a family favorite or something you've been wanting to watch together.

I hope this issue of Home Update provides some inspiration for making your backyard a place where summer memories are made.

Taking the time to give your backyard a makeover now is the key to a relaxing summer at home. Upgrading your landscaping, fixing up your deck or patio, and working in the garden this month will make those long, sunny July and August days spent in the yard even sweeter. Getting outside and crossing off those landscaping projects you've been wanting to tackle not only does wonders for your backyard, but can also help to increase the value of your home. If you're looking to sell in the near future, I'm happy to provide information on what kinds of renovation projects help to increase the value of homes like yours.
