Our family loves being outside and I feel like that’s putting it lightly. We love the 4 seasons that Utah has to offer & we have a growing list of family activities that keep us busy when we aren’t playing sports.
Our oldest played football & soccer this fall (which he absolutely loved!) & our girls played soccer. While our kids have always been active, this was the 2nd season they were signed up in organized sports. We were in the car, on the go, every single day of the week for 8 weeks. Practices once a week & games twice a week made for a hectic schedule. I finally understood what some of my friends go through year round. On top of that, the kids had just started school & the second they dropped their backpacks in the house, we were out the door until dinner.
For us, it was a big, exciting change.
With that change meant a bag of chips wasn’t going to cut it to get them through practice.
I found CLIF Kid ZBars. I love CLIF Bars so I thought I’ll give these a shot and see if the kids will not only eat them, but prefer them.
They totally did & mom did a party dance for this occasion. This video totally brings the feelings of the magic of childhood & I love it.
Get outside & just play! You don’t have to match, your hair can be tossed up in a pony, & you’re good to go!
We are on a short break until basketball starts in a few weeks, but the CLIF Kid ZBars are not. They come with us on all of our family activities.
We can’t always make it into the mountains to explore during the weekend. Sometimes we only have a couple hours to run to the park & lately it has been less (thanks Daylight Savings).
When we pack up for the park we make sure to take a few things. Our kids are at different ages & have different interests so we make sure we are prepped.
We love riding our bikes & skateboards to the park.
We pack 1 soccer ball, our bocci ball set, a football & occasionally tennis rackets.
Mr. Cool thinks he can take us girls on so it’s usually boys vs girls or dad vs everybody.
And sometimes mom has to remind big brother that it’s the girls first season and his 3rd 😉
He still outruns all of us though.
Football was a new one this season and he loved it. I grew up with 7 brothers and they all played football so he usually has an uncle to toss the ball around with or get tips from.
Bocci ball is a new one for me. We played with some family in Chicago and I loved it. It was so chill and easy to pick up. Walking around a big grass area while talking to family and tossing a ball is a good one in my book. I’m not out of breath at the end!
We really love CLIF Kid ZBars at our house. They are a quick grab and go snack, a great choice to put in lunches, & perfect to fuel your kids during their extra activities. They are made with organic ingredients, are Non-GMO, & have no high fructose corn syrup. These are guilt free and have become a part of our favorite family activities. We know the snow is coming so we are enjoying the outdoors as much as we can before the kids start hitting the slopes!
