I know we can do lots of the things that everyone else does but do bear with me.
My son (9) is pretty family-oriented and he doesn't really want to join in with lots of clubs. He doesn't like big groups and he's not at all sporty. We're fairly new to the area and don't have masses of family friends here yet. So quite often at the weekend, it's just us. We're aware that if there's another child around, the kids amuse themselves (as we did when children) but of course with one the parents become the default 'playmates' at least some of the time.
I'm finding it a bit intense, to be very truthful. I don't share a lot of my son's natural interests. I do try but it's far easier to sort of leave him and DH to it. I feel I'm missing out a bit and am looking for things that we can do which are a bit different, don't involve a lot of money, do involve the three of us as much as possible, and a bonus would be if they can lead to meeting people in smallish groups.
So far I've come up with geocaching (helping us explore the area a bit) but as the winter comes on it's becoming less appealing
