Ask the Readers: What Is Your Favorite Weekend Activity?

Editor's Note: Congratulations to Guest, Allison, and Elena for winning this week's contest!

For most of us, the weekend is when we relax and recharge after a week of work. It's when we finally (and hopefully) have time to do the things we love: go on day-long outings with our favorite people, finish craft projects, or prep next week's dinners — that can be fun, too!

What is your favorite weekend activity? Are you actually able to do it every week — or would you want to? Do you prefer to have productive weekends, or do you reserve this time for rest and relaxation?

In the summertime our favorite activity is being outside! Camping, working in the yard, sitting out on the deck reading, having a cookout! We're not big fans of the cold, so in the wintertime it's reading or watching movies.

My favorite weekend activity is cooking. I don't usually have enough time during the week to really cook, so I make one big meal on the weekend and eat the leftovers all week. I'm single, so it isn't hard to do that.

If the weather outside is not so great, I'd catch up on all the shows I DVRd during the week....while folding the laundry.
