St. Louis Post-Dispatch
From the Associated Press
If you’re joining the “staycation” craze this summer by taking your precious vacation days at home, you might find inspiration in “The Complete Idiot’s Guide to Backyard Adventures.”
The $12.95 paperback by Nancy Worrell, part of the popular Idiot’s Guide series published by Alpha/Penguin Books, promises “close-to-home activities for fun-focused families” from camping out to arts and crafts.
Ideas include planning an “insect safari” for the backyard or a nearby park, or similar excursions to find plant life and different types of rocks; learning new sports or skills, from kite-flying to skateboarding; and connecting with your neighbors through an ice-cream social or even through your pets.
