Find me something to do

Gilly · 2 Aug 2013 at 10:11

Need something that 4 adults and 3 kids (ages ranging between 2 and 9) can do, that will last from early afternoon Saturday and can run until fairly late Sunday if need be.

If I can't think of anything I'm gonna have to go camping. Again

Camping sucks, and means I miss an assload of sport.

7 a side soccer.

e : nope. 3.5 a side soccer.

e2 : camping

It can be fun if you get a great place to go.

Alton Towers, where parents wallets get raped, and end up being pack horses.

We're in Yorkshire, so setting off in the early afternoon would get us there mid afternoon, and I'm not all that convinced that a 2 year old is best suited to it

Plus I think it's ****, but I would go anyway if it meant avoiding camping for the third time in a month.

What about a walk around somewhere nice? Maybe a bike ride?

Find dissuaded quarry or other area.
Cook sausages on an open fire and teach them to make dampers. Teach them fire safety etc.

Poor honey, golden shrup, jame etc down the middle.

Can even take a kife and string and make a basic arrow. Wonder around and let kids be kids.
So much fun as a kid.

And best thing, is virtually free.

Then something else the second day, take them swimming (do two year olds swim)

Drop the kids off at Social Services and go dogging.

I was told as a kid that camping is character building. Imagine how much character you'll have at this rate!

Take them to the football and leave them in the clubhouse whilst you enjoy a round of golf.

Hilly · 2 Aug 2013 at 10:28

Any aquariums by you? Zoos?

If you really want something to do, I've got a tonne of stuff at work for you!!
