For most of us Summertime is just what we need to get us moving a little
bit more! That being said, it's also a time when family's get together
more often for BBQ's and some fun!
We spent the last weekend at my son's cottage and had some really good time
with two of our three grandchildren. The third one was busy at a Horse
Show.
So we made the most of the time we had with the two younger
ones!
Cottage life is so different from everyday life in the city. It's
time to relax, enjoy the outdoors and just reconnect with our loved
ones.
My son makes sure the kids have more outdoor time and less "electronic"
time especially when at the cottage. Plus sometimes the power goes
out, so there is no electricity to run those hand held games. That is
exactly what happened when we were there. No power, so we had to make
our own brand of fun.
Enter Granddad's great idea for a fun time without the need for
power.
We are always looking for things that the kids can do while at the
cottage. Things that make them think, explore, observe and best of all
move out into the wilds! Board games are great, but sometimes you just
need to get some of that pent up energy released!
We found a great way to do just that with a
Badminton Set
that is so easy to set up and take down again.
No need to bang in posts or mark out where those posts should go.
Just set it up and you are ready to go! Of course I'm talking about
recreational badminton and not professional status. This is meant for
fun only!
Do you want to see how easy this set is? Well I'll tell you I was
impressed with how quickly this was done! Granddad checked out the
instructions just to see if there was a hidden surprise in there. Like
some difficulty that was NOT expected. Well I'm happy to report that
there were no hidden surprises of any kind and it was as advertised, easy to
set up!

The net is pressure fitted onto the frame and stands up on it's own
in minutes. Just put the base together (everything slides together), attach
the net and you are ready to go! Grab a racket and shuttlecock and you are
ready to play. Make up your own rules if you really want to have some
fun! (Like first one to get a rally of 10 or more hits, gets the first
popsicle) You get the idea....
The beauty is that all you need is a flat surface to set up on and when you
are done, it goes back into the box as quickly as it was set up or you can
make it into a self caddy. Not only good at the cottage, but if
you go camping or to the beach this
Badminton set
is a great take along. It comes with 4 rackets and 2 shuttlecocks, the
net and the frame. It has instructions as well, but even a child could
put this together in minutes.
What has us so excited about this set, is that even in our apartment, we
could take this set outdoors and play on the grounds around our
building. I bet that when our neighbors see us having some fun, they
would be interested in joining us for some great outdoor fun and exercise
time.
Badminton
when played at a recreational pace is not so tiresome that us "older" kids
can't join in the fun. It might even do our older bones some good to
get them moving about! Just think about all the stretching and bending
to get our joints moving! Of course after all this playing is done,
you can relax with your favorite beverage (you deserve it now)!
Don't let this summer pass you by without making some time for some fun in
the great outdoors.
Play on everyone and enjoy the summer months!
