Ok, I know it is only March, but our summer vacation starts in May so I'm thinking a bit ahead. The nearest metropolitan area is 3 hours away from us, so we are pretty isolated from anything where we are. I was wondering what some of you do with your kids in the summer to keep them occupied? DD6's mind is always going and if she is idle for 3 days we start to get on each other's nerves, by the end of a week of with no planned activities either she has holed herself up in her room with her books and refuses to come out or she is constantly at my side asking what can we do now. (Which I can only take so much of.) I'm looking for "different" interesting things we could do, be they crafts or whatever. I also have a 13month old who we need to think about with these activites too.
We go biking, have swim lessons, go to the park, go for walks, and go to library summer reading program, but that is about all of our options.
PS it is usually around 100 for most of the summer.
