7 Ways To Make The Most Of Your 2020 Winter If You Live In The Poconos
Blue Mountain Resort

The fall and winter time in the Poconos is a beautiful thing everyone should experience. The mountains provide a breathtaking view and the fall colors can enlighten the spirit of even the worst case of the winter blues. The activities that are available in the Poconos range from fun for the kids as well as the parents.

1. Skiing, Snowboarding, or Snow tubing

Not everyone is down to hit the slopes, and that's why I included snow tubing. Skiing and snowboarding are fun to learn and I recommend trying at least one- who knows, you might find a new hobby! There are plenty of places to do any of these- including my favorite, Blue Mountain.

2. Indoor Water Parks

Indoor water parks are a fun time for the whole family. At Camelback resort, the indoor water park is great for the whole family because it includes many fun rides and places for the kids to play and a bar for the adults to relax at. They also have a large hot tub that is half indoors and half outdoors!

3. Ice Skating

If you're looking for something to do with your significant other- ice skating is a great idea! If you're a beginner, you'll have to rely on your partner to catch you when you fall! Tobyhanna State Park is a great place to ice skate.

4. Paintball

If you're up for some challenges- Skirmish Paintball offers a fun time in the snow! Put on some extra cushioning for the snow and paint balls!

5. Roller skating

Roller skating is a great way to be active, listen to some good tunes and have fun! Whether you're with a group or partner, roller skating can be enjoyable whenever and with whoever. Big Wheel is a popular roller skating rink in the Stroudsburg area.

6. A Trip Back in Time At Quiet Valley

Quiet Valley is a fun and educational trip for everyone. The actors at the living historical farm dress and act like colonial people and teach the visors what life was like back in the day.

7. Indoor Go-Karts

Indoor Go-karting at S&S Speedway is the way to go if you're bored on a weekend night! All family members can get a kick out of racing and then the video arcade and pool tables are an added bonus!

And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September.

The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
