Create memories The end of summer is ap proaching and a new school year lurks around the corner. Create a few more memories of summer 1994. Spend time together. Enjoy the outdoors, the rain and snow will be back soon enough, reminds Jan Hare, Oregon State University Extension family life specialist. Here are some ideas for low- cost outdoor family fun. Pitch a tent in the backyard. Fix dinner and breakfast out side. Your dog will love the company. No fair running in side for TV. Tell stories. Play hide-and-go-seek. Roast marshmalAws. Plan an end-of-sum m er neighborhood potluck. Invite all the children to bring three used toys. Have a toy exchange. Picnic once a week. Visit all your local parks. Try a sunrise grilled breakfast on a weekend morning. Everyone has to help pack it the night before. Create a homemade pizza. Star gaze and talk about your day. Take a hike. The list is endless. Fun doesn't always have to be ex pensive, says Hare. Some of the best family memories are the simple times together, not the elaborate vacations. Enjoy yourselves.
