Maybe google a bit and see if you can find something (or someone) similar in your area.Promisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12338935046262804307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3949563474991312718.post-41253959521549738372009-06-17T13:38:41.878-04:002009-06-17T13:38:41.878-04:00I'm not going to be a lot of help here - my yo...I'm not going to be a lot of help here - my youngest just turned 16 ans hearing those two words is pretty much a thing of the past now.<br />We did use to go out to national parks and take picnics and an inflatable boat - admitted there was usually an argument somewhere along the way) and fishing was always popular - small kids with nets lol. Rope swings in secret places and sliding down grassy hills on a sheet of cardboard. Silly stuff but they used to love it.<br />Nowadays I sometimes feel like I need a crowbar just to get them out of the house.........Roxmysoxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04976199371933820984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3949563474991312718.post-85938863815215065382009-06-13T09:02:54.128-04:002009-06-13T09:02:54.128-04:00I want to make parachute guys!!

Any kind of tree fort or outdoor play fort you can get them to build? And get dad in on it? Ask young lad to draw up a practical plan (I forget how old?).<br /><br />2. Something for them to paint? Their room furniture? this is really fun for them and also good practice.<br /><br />3. Pool in backyard? Or old watertub?<br /><br />4. Library: I paid my boys $1 for every book of significant length they read all summer long. They loved to read anyway but the reward made it fun.<br /><br />5. Cooking: teach them to make basic meals like spaghetti, mac-n-cheese etc.<br /><br />6. Laundry: I taught my boys to do their own laundry. Smartest thing I ever did or perhaps the only smart thing! :)<br /><br />7. Re-arrange their room, let them do it and you just be the helper or again let dad.<br /><br />8. Toy sort and throw-out: take to Goodwill. They like giving things to needy people.<br /><br />7. Camera: Let them take pictures and make an album online: "My Summer Vacation" (with funnies!).Flying Lilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04652273828990723024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3949563474991312718.post-19014238807214084762009-06-11T14:01:07.336-04:002009-06-11T14:01:07.336-04:00Sometimes you just have to get those things off yo...Sometimes you just have to get those things off your chest!

You were ...Andrea: NO!! lol Not too many at all. You were actually the first one I thought of when I was posting because of some of the neat things you've posted about doing with your kids. Are all of your ideas for the theme camp week activities in the Family Fun magazine? I'll have to look into that. Thank you!!ezra_pandorahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04626213285612235702noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3949563474991312718.post-85874969849610037372009-06-11T10:18:03.585-04:002009-06-11T10:18:03.585-04:00I haven't gotten those 2 little words yet. My ...I haven't gotten those 2 little words yet. My boys and I made some parachute men out of plastic shopping bags. The boys played with them for hours!! There is a "how to" on my blog. Family Fun magizine has a bunch of fun ideas. You guys could go on a picnic, a safari, have a week theme "camp" at your house. Like one week do dinosaurs and all week long talk about, do crafts, color, about dinosaurs. You could even make fossils. Then the next week do cooking, space, or a different country. Arn't there some rodeos near there? Also, Findlay has a palomino horse show in the summer that is free to attend. There are also mommy and me day camps that are pretty fun too!!! Okay is that too many? <br />I am gald the new barn is working out for you! And it's great that you and your husband get to go out and ride together.Andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13155749395336824191noreply@blogger.com
