Some really enjoyable outdoor activities that aren't too taxing include: flying a kite, a walk around your local park or beach, fossil hunting, fly fishing, canoeing in a mild body of water, raking leaves, miniature golf, and a visit to the zoo.

Weather permitting, before you strike out it is wise to take along the following before attempting outdoor activity: lip balm, gloves, sunshades with UV protection, head covering (that is not religiously related) dependant upon the activity you are ensuing, water-proofed footwear, a canteen of water, a nutritious snack, and sunscreen.  

And if you're going out into the Wild Blue Yonder, you'll need to add a compass, a good topo map, a flashlight, a small first aid kit, a buddy, coins for vending machines and pay phones, and a personal cell phone (keep in mind that your signal may not be active in low areas or when you're out of tower range).

When interacting with The Great Outdoors, make sure that your equipment is in good working order.

There's nothing more embarrassing than having an inferior piece of equipment spiral into your cranky mother-in-law's face.
