family time, how do you spend it?

Since I don't have children yet I spend always good quality time with my father and mother. We go fishing on a nearby river during holidays, and we cook the fishes we caught for a lunch picnic on the river. It is a joyful moment to spend sometime with your relatives even though your too busy at work during the weekdays. Being with them for just a couple of hours or days, having fun , letting them enjoy your company is a special moment for my parents. Sometimes when I have enough days for a long vacation from work, I asked them to go for a vacation on some beautiful sites in our place, do camping along a forest reservation, enjoying a nature trail and biking. It is a way of life for me to spend my simplest time with my parents and when I have children of my own I can share that too, let them enjoy what life has to offer and enjoy the company of their loving parents and promote a stronger bond between me and my children in the near future.

Happy Easter! First of all, let me congratulate you & yours for making the family unit the centre of your universe! I truly believe that if more families got to know each other in the manner you do, this whole world would be a better place to live in! Many families, under the same roof, hardly know each other, let alone their likes, dislikes...even what's happening in thier world....as they are just existing in the same home....a place where one eats, & sleeps! Truly hope your family has a wonderful Easter Sunday & congratulations!

we go to the mall, we spend time to the timezone were we can play a lot of games, that i can relate, but i tried to. LOL we eat outside and watch movie

i am an only child and that makesus a really close family I guess. we like to travel a lot and just go to places we've never been before. i think that's what brings us closer. all of us still work so it is a bit hard to schedule time for each other, but when we do, we see to it that we block out everything else and just enjoy the time that we have together. i'm getting married soon and will be moving to a different country for a while, and I can feel they're a bit sad about it. sigh.

Bring your family to a theme park or to the cinemas have some good fun!

In my opinion the best way of spending time with your family is a barbeque. I have a big backyard and a new barbeque grill.

I don't spend a lot of family time because I don't live near my family. Most times, this is a good thing. However, at other times it's lonely. I hate holidays when I'm not home because there's no one to celebrate me who happens to be working that day. When I lived at home, we spent a lot of time watching movies. When I was a teenager, my mother and I couldn't communicate about anything at all, ever. We could always find a movie we both enjoyed, however. We spent a lot of time around then talking about the fact that Danny Glover had a nice behind. Whatever works. I think movies are a pretty universal activity. I just sent my friends who adopted a 13 year old a $10.00 Blockbuster gift certificate.

You sure run your family well

Hey doula! Nice to see you again! Been awhile? Happy Easter to you and your wonderful family! And yes, I most definitely think that your family has a great idea to keep everything together and make sure that you all stay current and close! More families should take a page from your book, so to speak! I remember as a kid that our family used to play board games together and it was fun! It's a shame that more families don't take the time to do this anymore! They let other things get in the way! I think you have the right idea! Have a wonderful holiday and keep enjoying your family!
