March 4, 2023 - National Play Outside Day | National Sons Day

March 03, 2023

Welcome to March 4th, 2023 on the National Day Calendar. Today we celebrate playing outside and a chip off the old block.

Marlo: Hey Anna, it’s National Play Outside Day, let’s get out of here, what do you want to do today?

Anna: Oh! I’d like to go for a hike, let’s go!

Marlo: This is great! Fresh air, sunshine, not a care in the world!

Anna: Yup, taking the show on the road! Playing outside is so good for us too, fresh air and exercise!

Marlo: And it’s so nice that the technology allows us to work AND play…hey John, you doing okay with all that gear?

John: Oh…sure…no problem… 

Marlo: Let us know if we can help with anything…

Anna: On National Play Outside Day go get some fresh air and stretch your legs, right John?

John: Right. 

John Adams played an important role in the birth of America. And all the while, his son John Quincy observed him and took mental notes. As a child, he watched the Battle of Bunker Hill. By the age of 14, he was already involved in politics, serving as secretary to the American ambassador to Russia. A couple years later, he joined his father in Paris to aid the men working out the Treaty of Paris, which formally ended the American Revolution. Over the next few decades, he served as an ambassador, then a Senator, and eventually became the 6th president of the United States. Although he wasn’t a very popular Commander in Chief, his parents were very proud of their son. On National Sons Day, remember that the kid following your footsteps today, will likely be leading others tomorrow.  

I’m Anna Devere and I’m Marlo Anderson. Thanks for joining us as we Celebrate Every Day.
