Spring Break can be stressful for families, but with a little preparation and creativity, days away from school can be much fun for all. Some great ideas around the web include
- Mommy Camp (young kids seem as enamored by the names of things than by the actual activities),
- Taking a Road Trip (and how to keep them entertained on the way).
- Hiking
- Spring skiing or snowboarding (probably better for the tween and teen set)
- Bowling (my kids are still too young but I cannot WAIT to try this out as a family and put down the gutter guards)
- Bird Watching (even without the expensive gear, you can identify some basic birdies like Chickadees, Robins, and the like)
- Swimming (local pools often have open family swims during the day)
- Fishing (even little toddlers can enjoy fishing, as long as you keep them away from the orange marshmallows)
- Family Bike Ride (dust off those mountain bikes and take the whole crew out for a whirl).
- King/Queen for a Day (Give each child a chance to be king or queen for the day. That kid gets to pick activities that the whole family participates in.)
Get out there and have some fun!!
