That's funny- when I came back from commenting, there was a new post!
We love to take the kids to local state parks (Oregon has lots of them). I say local because they are in resonable driving distance, 39-60 minutes. There is a small one that does a special activity each month (apple festival, blacksmith days, ect) and it's donations only. It's a definite favorite. We also love to bike ride and hike trails at the neighborhood parks. And thrift stores (hey, it's an activity to us! Lol). My kids are turning out to be good bargain hunters.
OOps! That was supposed to be free activities, and the thrift store isn't free, just ALMOST free!
I forgot to mention the Ocean, another one of our favorite activites. And feeding the ducks at the pond.
Think I better quit now, Lol.
Great list Marva! We love to go to free museum day in our town, the free park concerts in the summer, and freee swim day every week at the YMCA.
My kids are older fo course so my free activities wouldn't necessarily apply to your twins.
We love to play basketball at the park, make our own gargantuan bubble makers and blow them, pick wild blackberries and make a pie together, make dolls using apples for heads and a bit of cornstalk for the body, take our rafts to the river and float, go downtown to the waterfront and watch the boats while walking the boardwalk and enjoying icecream...these are just a few. Notice there is no hiking involved? I hate hiking. Hubby loves it so he and the kids do it together.
Since my kids are older now, these were some of the fun things we did when they were younger....sidewalk chalk, blowing bubbles, trike/bike riding, wading pool, walks, duck pond to feed the ducks, catch, going to the park. When they were older they enjoyed shooting basketball hoops, bike rides, scooter riding, rollerblading, frisbee, badmitton. Have FUN! Ellie
We like to take long walks in the Spring and Summer time, it is fun to look at all of the houses and gardens in bloom.
Mykidsmom, We have lots of state parks close here to within an hours drive. They will be fun to take in when the boys are a little older. I love thrift stores too! Blessings!!!
Sounds like fun Mimi! blessings!!
You truly are a wonderful Mom Mrs. Darling!!!! Many blessings!!
Sounds wonderful Ellie! you kids are very blessed! Blessings sweet friend!
Sounds relaxing Nico! I could go for that right now. Blessings!
Get the state vacation planner free from the travel website. It has a monthly list of events all over the state. I look for things within a 2 hour drive and we enjoy going to festivals and things when we can. There are a lot of civil war and indian pow wows in Alabama. Since we are so close to Tennessee I also get their travel guide.
Great tips Southerner! Before the twins were born I did a lot of arts and craft shows with my mixes. I love to go to festivals and shows! There also are several car and tractor shows around. Blessings!!!
