This is the 3rd year of DD doing the 10 Minute Shake Ups from Change4Life which she has loved.

Also dog walking, trips to parks and theme parks (lots of walking at these!), swimming lessons and playing with friends.

We have lovely NDN with children a similar age to my eldest. They spend the entire summer hols out riding their bikes, or playing in our garden. This summer we've invested in a tent so they can camp out! Very lucky to have ready made play friends on our doorstep.

We've been to lots of parks and spent a lot of time in the garden these past two weeks. We have a big drive so lots of bike riding, scooting and driving (crashing) remote controlled cars

Our favourite is to go down to the beach after tea when it's quiet and cool and the DC love digging channels down to the sea from the pools on the beach.
They'd spend hours doing that, making dams and splashing about.

We've camped once and will probably go to our holiday cottage up north for a weekend or two. There is literally nothing there but a beach so waiting for a good weekend weather wise!

So far, every day, I have given them the choice of cleaning their room or going out to play, so far their rooms are uncleaned and I have had tired kids every evening. Smile
