We all enjoy

• drawing giant maps of imaginary islands /lands
• walks in woods
• board games
• trying new international /unusual foods

Together as a family we love going to the allotment and weeding, planting, tasting, and making a cup a soup in the shed - which is why they go down primarily - it's given my children a love of nature, food and being outdoors.

We enjoy making pizza - adding faces made from veg - we love a sweetcorn and red pepper face, another vote for the nintendo Wii - great games and with them being interactive we can be active indoors, and take turns, in summer we love riding bikes and collecting bits and pieces from the woods lovely to do this in autumn when we collect conkers, leaves of many colours, and twigs

We love to make a den - under the dining room table and read, tell stories, read books with head torches - with the summer we are having it's a lifesaver - we pretend we are on a boat/submarine/spaceship .... and make up adventures

Baking butterfly buns - we get the kitchenaid out and have a morning weighing out, different muffin cases for each DC, we even give grandma and grandad one. We love growing sunflowers in the summer, and making paper snowflakes for decorations in the winter. We read together and go swimming on our local pool - especially when the fun swim is on.

Swimming, watching a film, going camping or out on a day trip to the zoo.

I am lucky enough to live near the Eureka children's museum - so much to do, see and experience -so we go there after school and at weekends, great for a rainy day. In the summer we get the paints out and make paintings - self portraits and sometimes hand prints.

We enjoy going cycling together. Now the children are a bit older we can go further and provided we have plenty of snacks with us (!) it is a really fun thing to do

We all enjoy bowling and a game of Exploding Kittens. We are not kayaking people.

All together is tough one for everyone to be delighted. Food is about the only thing - be that making it, picking it (either at at PYO farm, r blackberries), or eating it at home or at a restaurant.

We live to go on evening walks after dinner with our dog and play at the local park

Exploring new outdoor places by going on walks together, stopping for a picnic or in a pub for drinks! Can't beat it

We really enjoy the following
Cooking together, especially trying out new recipes
Playing board games, especially Frustration and Monopoly!
Beach days with the paddle board
Going to our local park, which also has a great cafe with play area and air hockey table etc

Board games and cards. Current favourite is definitely Taco Cat Goat Cheese Pizza. Can't play it without laughing hysterically

Watching quiz shows and trying to answer the questions before the DC's get them correct, going to the petting farm - especially in spring, going to the allotment and watching our seedlings sprout into vegetables and fruit, eating raspberries from the allotment bush, making pot noodles in the greenhouse when it's raining.

Walks along the stream, building dens in the woods, boardgames nights, movie nights, fruit picking, hide and seek in the parks….so many adventures to be had

We enjoy making your own pizza nights, everyone likes different toppings so much easier this way! We often pair this up with setting up the projector and watching a family movie while we eat it.

We are currently in the middle of making a scrapbook per child with all photos of days out, adventures, birthdays etc. They are loving it!

Baking is a firm favorite, as is making models from marzipan to have competitions and a sweet treat at the end!

We also enjoy exploring the local beach, geocaching and going to the woods (with nerf lazer guns sigh).

We love going on walks and long drives. I find we chat freely on both of those in a way we don't at home.

We also love family game night where we each choose a board game to play together.

In the term time we're all so busy so it's lovely to properly spend time on things together during the holidays.

Has to be a simple card game for us. UNO is our favourite

We enjoy planning and making a meal together and then a board game or two

Swimming, water parks, Pokémon Go and playing the game with decks, geocaching, tennis, movie night with burgers, games night, but not Risk, never again after a two week episode with no dining table/place to work at home.😂😱

Believe it or not we love on-line shopping together - we log into Tesco and select what we want to have for dinner the following week - and what vegetables we will have with it - we started this in lockdown and it's now a weekly ritual - it's given our DC's more of a say with meal planning and trying new things too.

We like to go for bike rides, take trips on grandads canal boat, birdwatching, kite flying and when I have the energy cake baking.

We love going to the Lake District. We strap our 6 month old baby in a carrier and then take our dog for a walk up the fells.

We enjoy going swimming, the cinema, the library, going for a walk to the park, and snuggling up with a hot chocolate to watch a film at home on a cold, wet day (there have been a lot of days like that recently!!).
