There are usually indoor shooting ranges if you live in a place where you don’t have an outdoor range nearby. You can take it one step farther and do some sort of “gun safety” class before shooting as part of the date.

Katie and I did this recently and it was a lot of fun. Over 4th of July weekend, we were in Utah visiting family and one of my uncle’s friends offered to take us shooting. We went up in the hills behind Richfield to practice. Katie had never shot a gun (and it had been a long time since I went) and it was amazing (and scary) to see how powerful these things were. It pretty much convinced us that we never wanted to be in the military, but it was an awesome experience. You’ll have to get Katie to show you the pictures of her holding a gun.

In High School, we’d toiletpaper our teachers houses and people we didn’t like. But it’s a good trick even for people you do like.

I once built a “toiletpaper gun” by attaching a paint roller to the end of a leaf blower and putting a roll of TP on the paint roller. It empties the entire roll in about 5 seconds. GREAT fun.

Flying a model rocket can be done for under $20 (but obviously, some people get much more elaborate). If you are lucky enough to find an event, you can see hundreds of these of varying complexity. But if not, it’s still fun to pick up a starter kit at a hobby shop and build one together then fly it a few times.

It’s a pretty big hobby for some people, so it’s cool to see what they’ve done with it.

But if you’re lucky, this can be a really fun adventure. If not, they have hot air balloon events where you can watch dozens of them take off at once.

It doesn’t hurt AS bad if you wreck on sand, so there are some pretty crazy people you can watch (or be)

In Arizona we like to go to Mexico because it’s not too far away and it’s quite a cultural experience.

Here in Arizona there are lots of little hills and mountains nearby that can make for a decent 2-3 hour hike

You can buy all of the parts you need to build a potato gun for less than 20 bucks (ammunition included!) which is a couple of PVC pipes and an ignition source (like a lantern lighter and hairspray). Good fun — a decent potato gun will go 50 yards. You can find instructions all over the internet.

Lots of lakes and rivers have already built rope swings (make sure they’re safe!) but you can build your own pretty easily. It’s especially fun if it’s in to water (you could do it when you go cliff diving)
