Take a Sunday family tour

It's a deeply rooted Norwegian habit: On Sunday, everyone from toddlers to grandparents heads out to hike (in summer) or cross-country ski (in winter). Compare that with the typical American household, where the only Sunday expedition is from the fridge to the football game on TV.

Start a Nordic tradition in your house. At halftime, shoo everyone outdoors for a walk around the neighborhood.
