How often do you walk your dog?? Research suggests that dogs require 20-45 minutes of exercise every day! Let's make today the day we start walking every day. Generally, the less a person exercises, the less a dog exercises. On this day walking with your dog is a must. If you don't have a dog, perhaps you can join a friend while he or she walks their dog.

An asteroid the size of a city block is set to fly by Earth Thursday (June 14), and you may be able to watch it happen live! The near-Earth asteroid 2012 LZ1, which astronomers think is about 1,650 feet (500 meters) wide, will come within 14 lunar distances of Earth Thursday evening. While there's no danger of an impact on this pass, the huge space rock may come close enough to be caught on camera. The sky is beautiful at night, and stargazing can be an exciting and relaxing hobby. Why not take the time to lie out under the stars tonight with a loved one. As warmer weather sets in, the brilliant stars of summer begin to position themselves in the overhead skies. For beginning stargazers the trio of stars that form the Summer Triangle remains the symbol of the season and there is no brighter or easier star to find than brilliant Vega. Stargazing is a great activity that you can do with the whole family! Teach your children about constellations, meteorites, stars, planets, and more!

It's time you dusted off the old Monopoly board, collected all the missing Scrabble pieces, pulled down Trivial Pursuit from your spare closet and gathered up your family for an old-fashioned game night. Board games, card games, and word games provide a number of benefits including: 1) Board Games are good for the mind: Challenging your brain with mentally stimulating leisure activities (including playing board games or cards, doing crossword puzzles, reading, writing, and playing musical instruments) is great for your mind. 2) Relieve Stress, Gain Mental Balance and Relax Playing "casual games" (board games, card games, word games, etc.) is an excellent way to kick back and relax, 3) More Quality Family Time Sitting down for some uninterrupted family time may feel like a rare luxury in your home, as schedules pull everyone in different directions, but doing so is extremely important. Playing board games is an excellent way to get closer to your family (you'll often be surprised at where the conversation goes), while strengthening your family bond, and allowing kids to practice essential problem-solving and other cognitive skills. Not sure what board games to play? Here is a list of 10 great family games! http://www.dailypress.com/news/dp-top10-board-games-051409,0,4628721.photogallery

Are you looking for ways to spend quality time with your family or friends?? Why not have a picnic on this beautiful day! What is nice about picnics is that they can last as short as a few hours or run as long as all day. It is also important to mention that the change of scenery may do you and your family good, even if that change of scenery is just to your backyard, as opposed to your kitchen table. Have some free time? Take a walk to a local park and have a picnic there! It is also a great idea to involve the whole family in preparation and cooking for the picnic too! Make your favorite sandwich, wrap, or salad, gather up family and friends, and challenge yourself to enjoy the sunshine and spend quality time with loved ones.
