OK - I sense this has the potential to be controversial (what isn't on MN these days?) but I'm genuinely interested...
When I look around my children's friends, it seems as if their parents fall into one style or the other i.e.
The 'Looking afters' - where parents seem to dread school holidays and muddle through, with kids left to own devices or trips shopping etc
The 'educationalists' - where the time is mapped out with a variety of nature trails; museum visits; craft activities etc.
I will admit that I'm more of the latter, as I simply can't stand having us all cooped up at home, arguing about the Wii etc.But then I have two boys, and it seems we NEED to leave the house to stay sane...
Which are you?
If you do the 'education' style thing, how do you find enough things to do? It seems to get harder with every holiday, as we seem to have exhausted all the local things now!

In school holidays do you organise 'educational' activities or just 'look after' your kids?
