Tell me about the last time you spent a day outdoors. What did you do?

A natural way to answer

The last time was last weekend, when I went hiking with some friends. The weather was lovely, so we wanted to make the most of it. We walked up a hill, had a picnic at the top, and spent the afternoon relaxing. I was tired afterwards, but it was a great day.
