Since I live in a different part of the country than most of my family members I try to stay close by writing a monthly letter or email and not only does it help me stay in touch but it also spices up my families lives, who doesn't love getting mail?
I myself love getting phone calls so I try spread the love by dialing up my family every week(minutes are free)! Even a quick text would be a good way to stay in touch; perhaps a joke of the week or an inspiring tidbit.
What could be better than the great outdoors, tasty home-cooked food, and the whole gang? Nothing like the middle of nowhere to bond you and your family! It also provides valuable memories: when johnny caught his clothes on fire, when Kate was chased by a bear, when Leslie forgot to bring the tent cover!
This by far is the best way to stay close to your family! Give gifts, spread love, talk and giggle by the fire; what could make for a better experience?
Getting married, having a kid, going off to college are also great ways to bond the family and stay close. With so much going on you will never run out of things to stay and there will always be fun around the corner!
