Subject: Stuff for kids.

Ideas for kids (of all ages :) when they are on holiday. I only recently found out that you guys shut up your schools for the entire summer - awesome idea. We have four terms here (with our longest break being over the summer but only about 6 to 8 weeks, depending on what age group the kids are in). Things that you have used to entertain kids, also ideas for little ones (we have a grandparent or two on babysitting duty that might benefit from them - or like to share). Favourite childhood memories (long summer days that I thought would never end - they seem a long way away now). We have a school break coming up in the next week or so but it's midwinter here (lovely weather though - very strange stuff, let's hope it holds).

Favourite things for us to do in the summer include; bushwalks, beach visits, dog shows, ;) visiting our wonderful zoo, barbques and picnics ~ mostly stuff that really doesn't cost anything (or much)... family time out.

As a girl my family were into boating and we had wonderful summers away cruising and visiting islands, swimming and exploring. Sadly that ended when I was about seven or eight but I remember a lot of it still. Most of my memories seem to be about summer days and books... guess I was an easy child to keep entertained (when I wasn't asking for a dog (didn't happen) a horse (not a hope) a cat (I did get that one. :)

How about you and your kids (or grandkids)?
