I am spending some time with my niece and brand new nephew. My niece is turning 3. What do you enjoy doing with your family?

My daughter just comes in my room where i am usually on here writing and we have our talks. We watch movies, play games. My grandson comes in and we research things online or he shows me a new object he has made. He is quite a little engineer and can make the neatest things out of straws,boxes, and tubes. My granddaughter and i don't always see eye to eye but occasionally we will have a great heart to heart. So I guess talks and helping them do research and such.

My talks with my mom were the best too. I wish she was still here.

It really depends on what part of the family that you are talking about for me. I love to go outside and play with the kids or ride bikes with them and things like that when it comes to my own children. During the summer I also love to take them to the swimming pool and to the parks that are here in town. With my kids and husband, I love to go out to eat and we also really enjoy going hiking. Now, with my mother and my siblings and nieces, baseball has become a family affair with my brother and sister coaching the tee-ball team that my son and niece are on. That means that my other two nieces as well as my sister-in-law are at every game. My mother also goes to most of the games as well. We also like to go out to eat together from time to time.

Oh gosh..there are a ton of things I enjoy with my family. When we have "family time" we usually watch movies together, play games together, and in the summer, alot of outside stuff. Hiking and nature seeing is my personal favorite. Now with a three year old...talking to her would be my favorite. I just love to hear a three year old talk...lol. I get them started and just let them go.

I like to have the ourdoot activities with my husband and son. Usually we go out for the weekends since we don't have to work or go to school. It is our family time. We like to go to ride the bike. If it is in summer, sometimes we will go out to swim. I love China

For a change, I was able to go shopping yesterday and afterwards stay over during the evening at my daughters', her husband and 2 year old. It was relaxing for a change not to have to do anything but laugh at my nephew, talk to my daughter and watch my son 'n law cook shishkabobs. I am so sure I did not spell that correctly, but how in the world would you spell that? After we ate that delicious food, we just hung out and watched my grandson riding his four wheeler and jeep with the trailor on the back. He's so funny. He scares everyone sometimes and there will be his mom, dad and grandpa running behind him cause they think he's gonna get hurt! It's so funny. I just watch cause I know he knows what he's doing. He drives those little things good!

I like being with my family. I only had the chance to be with them twice or once in a year. I live far from them, and only had the chance to spend vacation with them during X-mas and summer. Whenever we got the chance, we go for an outing, in a park or beach.

My brother, his wife, myself, my husband and sometimes friends enjoy going bowling when we go visit. Our entire family really enjoys card games and board games. I have fun taking kids to the zoo as well.

It is very important to spend quality time with your family. My way to spend time with my family is to watch dvd movies with them whenever time permits me to do so, then i would go with my mom to do some grocery shopping and eat out in a fancy restaurant. yesterday, we celebrated my nephew's third birthday in island cove.. it is a resort which is an hour away from home.. we had very delicious filipino dishes like sinigang, beef steak, laing, shanghai rolls and a lot more.. Filipino families are very intact.. we make sure to spend quality time together especially on weekends and during special occasions like birthdays, anniversaries and holidays..

When my brother and I were younger we had a very close relationship and we spent a lot of time together. We bought piazza and lots of candy and then we watched movies all night. Sometimes we played computer games for many hours and just talked about a lot of different topics. Today my brother and I don't meet very often. We are both married and we live in different parts of the country. When we meet we have dinner today and talk a lot. My youngest cousin and I also used to spend a lot of time together. Today she lives in Copenhagen, but we still meet when there is a birthday party, a christmas party or something similar, and she is going to visit me on my island later this year.

Every is like a family day for us because my hubby and I are working at home. In the middle of working we find time to play with our boy or my son would teach him photoshop. He really loves to do that. We are also playing lego and puzzle, painting. He is really crazy about puzzles and painting. At his young age he can already solve small puzzle with 50-100 pieces and knows some basic with photoshop.

Shopping with my 'puddytat' daughter is always a treat! I enjoy observing other shoppers listening in on our conversation and being startled by her comments to me; as she tries to negotiate with me for items that she wants me to buy.
