5. Go to Work

Sometimes people have to stay busy or they need to work during the weekends.  Casey Davis said, “I work weekends so I have something to do to keep busy”.  It is definitely a productive way to spend the weekend and it is friendly on the wallet.

4. Do Housework

Housework is often a set of chores that gets neglected throughout the week.  Cam Smith said, “Sunday is yard day for my wife and I.  It is great exercise and it is the one day to get everything done.”

3. Walk the Dog

Elizabeth Brooks and her dog Sascha enjoy walking at the park to spend their Sundays.  They get to meet different people and she enjoys watching how the park restoration is progressing throughout each week.  She went to say, “This park has really turned around.  My son actually got married here last June and I just love coming here.”

2. Exercise at a Local Sports Complex

Sunday is a popular day to watch sports on television, but this is an alternative for those who don’t want to sit around.  It is a fun place to spend time with the family as there are different fields for everyone’s favorite games.

1. Watch Football

Sundays are the final day of relaxation before the work week starts up again.  Football is a very popular sport to watch on Sundays and it is fun to talk about rivalries with others.  Cam Smith said, “After I finish housework, I watch football with my wife and then I do more housework.  After that, I watch even more football.  Did I mention I watch a lot of football?”

Families need to find places to relax from the stresses of the week.  Thankfully, Northeastern Connecticut is filled with open areas that can provide fun for everyone.  Activities can range from skate parks, to fishing holes, or just a place to walk the dog.  Attached is a map that includes some of the parks in the Northeast corner of Connecticut.  They are all open to the public, so they can be enjoyed at any time.
