As part of this month’s Willow Hill Blog invitation to stay physically active, we’re sharing some activities that you can do in our apartment community in Puyallup, WA. The amenities we’ll focus on are just a few of the quality options we provide to make you feel at home. This week, we encourage you to go on an exciting scavenger hunt.
You probably went on a scavenger hunt when you were younger. If not, no worries. There’s really nothing to putting this activity together. To make things easier, we’re providing a list of things to search for. But instead of just finding things, we’ve made this hunt a little different — each item on the list should be done as an activity (think of it as “finding time” to do the things on the list). See how long it takes you to complete every item. For more fun, invite your neighbors to join in!
— Play 21 on the basketball court.
— Get a group and play Sharks and Minnows in the swimming pool.
— Look up at the sky and find a cloud that looks like a chicken.
— Head into your kitchen and make one of these delicious gourmet popsicles.
— Host a game night to celebrate the International Day of Friendship on July 30th.
— Watch one or more of Rotten Tomatoes’ 75 Best Summer Blockbusters of All Time.
— Head on over to Puyallup’s charming main street and grab a bite to eat or visit your favorite shop.
— Invite a few friends over and celebrate National Ice Cream Month by hosting an ice cream sculpting competition! After breaking into teams, each team gets a small container of ice cream (or larger, if you’re daring enough). Take the ice cream out of its container and place it something — many people will use cooking trays and roll out parchment paper or aluminum foil to work on. Then, everyone gets spoons and sculpts their ice cream into whatever they choose. Set a time limit so that everyone knows when to stop carving. And don’t take too long! The ice cream’s not going to stay frozen for long.
— Try out a few of the yoga poses we shared at the start of this month.
— Compete with a friend in a competitive game of foosball in the community foosball room.
We hope you have fun finding time for these activities. Which one is your favorite? Thanks for reading. Happy scavenger-hunting in our Willow Hill Apartments community!
