Today, it seems all I hear about is the metaverse and how we’re all going to live life through virtual reality headsets. Don’t get me wrong, there’s nothing wrong with spending some time playing around with VR, but life is meant to be lived outside. The best technology cannot replace the rush of reaching the peak of a mountain or spending hours in a pool with friends playing in the water.
There are so many fun activities and the months are warming up now. It’s time to take off the headsets, turn off the TVs, or just put the cell phones down. Grab the kids, some friends, some snacks, and some drinks, and get out there. My challenge to you is to review the list below and take on each activity included. Check out these 37 products you can buy on Amazon today to have some fun outdoors.

Document Your Trips with This Selfie Stick
I’m no professional influencer, but these days, it’s selfies or it didn’t happen. This stick is actually three things in one. I can use it as a selfie stick, a desktop stand, and a floor stand. Best of all, it comes with its own remote clicker!
Lounge by the Lake with This Towel
There is really nothing like a spring or summer evening by the lake. It doesn’t matter if I’m taking a swim or just lounging around. It’s the perfect way to spend a weekend away from city life.

Snap Your Phone to Your Bike with This Mount
Take it from me, just because you can ride with no hands, doesn’t mean you should have them on your phone. I added this phone mount to my bike a while ago so I could keep my hands on the handlebars while cutting through the trail.
Every Picnic Table Can Be a Ping Pong Table
Thanks to this ping pong set, any table is now a ping pong table. The set includes paddles, balls, and a retractable net. All I have to do is extend the net across the center of any table and it’s time to serve.

Little Ones Can Enjoy the Water in This Baby Pool
Last summer, the only way I could get my little one to relax was to blow up the kiddie pool and let them sit in a small puddle with some toys.

Recharge Your Battery With This 4-in-1 Liquid Supplement
I’m the worst at taking my daily vitamins, especially when I travel. I take vitamin D for immune support, Omega 3 for good cholesterol, K2 for heart health, and MCT oil for an energy boost in pill form, but I always forget to pack all four bottles! So, I switched to these organic vitamin drops because they have all four key ingredients in one bottle. Now, I never miss a day!

Train Your Dog with This Kit
Dogs can be the perfect running partner but I had to spend hours training mine before we ran together. Before training, she would decide where and when we were running. This kit has everything needed to teach them to run by your side and keep their attention on you.
Play Pool Pong with This Float
When I was a kid, I thought pools wouldn’t be as fun when I reached adulthood. I was so wrong on that one! All I have to do is grab a good drink, a few friends, and this float for hours of fun in the pool. Turns out I did want to grow up.
Lounge Around the Pool with This Float

Swing Under This Tarp
April showers are a reality, but just because it’s raining doesn’t mean I can’t enjoy relaxing in a hammock. I can put up this tarp right above my hammock and doze off for an afternoon nap listening to the rain hit the tarp. Try it on your next camping trip.
Enjoy the Sun Safely with This Umbrella
Just because I enjoy the sunshine, doesn’t mean I want it burning me every moment of the day. Take care of your skin and grab an umbrella. If you’re anything like me, you’ll be glad you did. And sure, it’s also great for the occasional rain shower.
Take a Nature Walk with This Pack
I’m lucky enough to live near some hiking trails that don’t require a long trip. I can wake up early, stuff my daypack with water, trail mix, and jerky, hit a trail, and be back the same day. If you have a similar situation, grab this daypack and take advantage of living so close to nature.
Keep Your Stuff Dry with This Bag

Scuba Dive with These Fins
Do you ever have moments when you wish you had flippers like a fish to navigate the ocean? I sure do. While I know I can never be a fish, these swim fins are a close second.
Soak Everyone with These Pool Shooters
Growing up, the best time in the pool was grabbing some water squirters and soaking my friends. This set comes with 30 squirters of different sizes guaranteed to turn your next pool party into a soak party.

We sometimes assume that fun in the yard just means grilling some burgers and dogs and washing them down with cold drinks. This set of yard games is a reminder of just how much more fun you can have when everyone in your yard has things to do.
Hit the Bullseye with This Bow and Arrow Set
You know those fantasy movies where a small group of people set out on epic quests to save the world? The best thing about those movies for me is the bows and arrows. This bow and arrow set may be meant for kids but I can tell you I enjoyed it just as much as my kids did (maybe more).
Swing Around with This Tree Swing
Video games are great but I make it a point to show my kids the joy of playing outside. Back in the day, all we needed was a tree and we could have hours of fun. This tree swing can do that for your kids.

Go On a Scavenger Hunt with These Flashcards
I love my kids, but on long road trips, they can be a bit much. These scavenger hunt flashcards have made road trips so much better. Cries and fighting have been replaced with fun and friendly challenges.
