Oh, sweet summer vacation! The warm weather is upon us, so if you're looking for ways to get out and enjoy it, you're not alone. We asked our REALTORS® about some of their favorite Greene County destinations for family fun and got some great answers.

• Get Creative
  Decoy Art Studio
  
  In the community of Beavercreek, Decoy Art Studio offers art classes, workshops, and projects for anyone with a desire to unleash their inner artist. Set up a group class, party or event, or just stop by any time to take part in walk-in art projects that are open to any age, from toddlers right up to adults.
  
  
• Family Outdoor Game Nights
  Russ Nature Reserve
  
  Putting a fun outdoor twist on family game nights, monthly Family Outdoor Game Nights at Russ Nature Reserve offers a chance for kids and adults alike to learn about the natural world (and enjoy some s'mores around a campfire). They take place at 6:30 PM on either the third or fourth Friday of the month throughout the summer. Each event has a different theme – Amazing Adaptations on June 22, Raptors on July 20, and Summer Camp's Greatest Hits on August 24 – so you can hit them all and never get bored.
  
  
• Learn About Trains
  Xenia Station
  
  Xenia, Ohio is a railroad town, with its rich history on display at Xenia Station. Built to precisely replicate a historic 1880s brick railway station, Xenia Station sits on the site of the old B&O Railroad freight yards along Miami Avenue. You'll find an on-site railway museum and playground, bike rentals and trails, and a beautifully restored B&O steel-sided caboose that is open to the public during special events.
  
  
• Family Fishing Trip
  Spring Lakes Park
  
  Just south of Bellbrook, Spring Lakes Park is a 23-acre fisherman's paradise, with two neighboring ponds stocked with catfish and trout. It's a great place for kids to learn how to fish, and for adults to take a shot at catching a big one.  An Ohio fishing license is not required to fish here, but you do have to get a Greene County fishing permit from the park attendant.
  
  
• Take a Bike Ride
  Greene County Trails
  
  Greene County manages more than 60 miles of paved bike paths that meander through rural and suburban landscapes, offering endless opportunities for a family bike trip. Many of these trails are accessible from the town of Xenia – known as"The Bicycle Capital of the Midwest" – and include the Ohio to Erie Trail, the Little Miami Scenic Trail, and the Wright Brothers-Huffman Prairie Bikeway.
