You have not seen your sister for some time now and have just heard that she is coming to visit. Although you talk to each other on the phone a lot, it is just not the same as spending quality time together. You want to plan a fun day for the two of you and need to find or come up with some great sister’s day out ideas.

You do need to remember that although you have always had a love-hate relationship, you share a unique and special bond with each other, you can be yourself and there is no need to pretend to be something that you are not and do the things that you would do to try and impress your other friends.

You have got this, so don’t panic just relax and take a moment to think about your sister for awhile, think about the things that you know that she likes to do, the things you enjoy doing together and the ideas will just start to flow.

Think if she would like to spend the day at the mall on a shopping spree or would she prefer to do some sort of activity, which could be calm and relaxing activities or does she like to go full out and enjoy the extreme type of activities.

Go out to a ball game

If you and your sister are very sporty type people and love sports then why not go and watch a ball game live. It can be anything from a hockey game, a basketball game or a baseball game. You would be surprised at how much better it is live than watching it on the television.
