They love watching daddy barbeque so I usually let them help mix up the marinades and stuff, and it is amazing what they will try if they helped make it.

On the first day of summer vacation, we always sat down and made a big, long list of everything we wanted to do over the summer. Then, little by little, we did things on the list. And if anyone ever got bored... we always referred to the list for an idea. The summers always passed too quickly, but we did lots of interesting and fun things.<BR/><BR/>SwedieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-624865079295197993.post-49367776443285203672008-06-13T07:43:00.000-07:002008-06-13T07:43:00.000-07:00I really enjoy your blog.

This can actually be done any time of the year, but it's a lot nicer when it's warm! You need a gps and then go to www.geocaching.com to fine caches that are close to you and then go on a treasure hunt! If you bring something to leave in the cache, then you can take something that someone else left, so your kids could get something fun from it (though it is usually pretty cheap stuff; kids still like it!).<BR/><BR/>LOL, I just noticed that someone else suggested this too :) It really is fun!CricketPEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17812051192539562411noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-624865079295197993.post-61910152952962852322008-06-13T06:54:00.000-07:002008-06-13T06:54:00.000-07:00What a great giveaway!I have 2 kids age 2 and 14 s...What a great giveaway!<BR/><BR/>I have 2 kids age 2 and 14 so its always a challenge to find things to do together and keep everyone happy.<BR/><BR/>I am in Ontario Canada so we are going to take a trip to Canada's Wonderland- there are variosu rides for each age so hopefully that will please the masses!!Reganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07496028232199149364noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-624865079295197993.post-2220894973013965812008-06-13T06:50:00.000-07:002008-06-13T06:50:00.000-07:00You have a wonderful blog!

Then when time permits we mark off from the list and do an activity. Sometimes it is as simple as fishing at the river or it may have been the science center in orlando. This makes the kids feel like they have some control over activities and when they get board we have ideas of what to do. :-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-624865079295197993.post-84444416625169173742008-06-12T09:32:00.000-07:002008-06-12T09:32:00.000-07:00What a nice Card.
