Activities for Extended Family Vacation
My husband's family all lives in different cities. Every other year, they go on a family vacation. There is one coming up in August, and is a full 7 days. There are 6 young kids including my own two kids (5 and 2).
We picked a place in the middle of nowhere as it had lots of amenities including a pond, boat, outdoor kitchen etc. And with that many young kids it's hard to go places so makes sense to stay on the premises.
However, I've learned this about myself (in doing similar trips with both mine and his family) I cannot just "hang out" watching my kids all day. I like and get along with his whole family, but without any structure or plan to my day, I just go nuts.
I'm already planning on exercising every morning, as I know that helps. We will probably do some family game tournaments. I was thinking maybe learning to start a fire from scratch (my 5yo would love this). Does any one have any other suggestions, for both solo and group activities? Or even just goals to achieve throughout the week?
