Well as a father of a seven year old girl I hardly see her during the day. She heads outside as soon as me and the wife get out of bed and only shows up at lunch if it is our turn to feed the neighborhood gang. yes neighborhood gang. about six kids that are as tight as can be and all of us take turns feeding them during the weekends/summer just easier that way. I think that is the key to her being outside all day. We have actually had to ground her a couple of times for staying out past dark.
The whole point of this is the friends thing. We live on a military base and damn near every house has at least one or two kids in it. If the're no kids in the area you may have to take them to organized play groups or the city park/pool. Bring a book and chill. No need to introduce them to other kids, put them in the same area and kids become instant friends. (Then again my kid is a natural extrovert like me)
good luck
