What a tricky age. They don't want to do anything (well not cheap / free stuff) anymore. A couple of years ago they'd be happy with a couple of hours at the beach / park with an ice cream or a few hours swimming, but not anymore.
I don't want them spending 6 weeks on devices and we can't afford paid days out everyday. We live in the sticks with no public transport so spontaneous meet ups with friends don't happen and they don't like pre-arranged 'play dates' at this age (which I understand).
All ideas welcome!
