Fall weather is almost here, and we will finally be able step outside without breaking a sweat. Maybe you're into outdoor activities and you're looking for ways to get the family involved? Here you go.

Tyler Parks and Recreation has some events coming up that might be great father-son and father-daughter moments.

The Outdoor Adventure Series includes hiking, biking, fly fishing and orienteering, and it's all free thanks to a grant from the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department.

Now, what is orienteering? It's is finding your way with navigation. Orienteering means you're using a map and compass to move from point to point in what's usually unfamiliar terrain.

It's gaining popularity all over the country, and there's a chance to try your hand at it -- or compass at it -- on Sept. 19 in Tyler.

Or maybe fly fishing is your thing? There's a competition next Saturday that you might want to get the kids involved in, and watch them have better luck than the rest of us.
