We love camping. All the children love he freedom to run and play without worrying about traffic or noise, it's awesome.

[#8]

We love to enjoy the countryside and take a picnic (sometimes having to eat in the car if it rains)

[#9]

We love picnics at the seaside and lovely long walks in the Lake District

[#10]

If its nice weather we make a picnic and go to the woods, or carbooting. in bad weather  we sometimes go bowling or to the cinema - or just to IKEA

[#11]

I'm lucky - all my family like collecting so we tend to cover the car boot sales and vintages fairs - loads of fun when you find something brilliant!

[#12]

We sometimes, make a fort in the living room that is big enough for us all to fit into. We let the kids bring their favourite snacks into the fort and play games like Simon says and I spy or play a favourite board game

We also go out. I take everyone to the park, pack a picnic and stay outside all day, play Frisbee, or just chase them around the park. If it is too cold for a picnic, I have the kids help me make some hot chocolate before we head out then pack that away for when it gets really cold.

If we have the money, we like to be spontaneous and surprise the kids with a day at the nearest amusement park or a museum.

love getting the family together, grandparents & the kids we all go  away for a week to see my brother in cornwall enjoying days on the beach 963

travelling by car with frequent stops of at points of interests etc.

Bikes on the bike rack ,picnic basket & outdoor wear all packed, we share where we want to visit,so each of us has our "turn" this is a great way to see what each of us finds interesting...often a real eye opener!! & lots of fun to boot

decide on an area....get on the internet & use local tourist guides etc...then each member of the party pick a "day" & say where they want to visit.

We have a caravan and we take the children there as often as possible. They love the freedom they have there.
