What is your favorite family activity that everyone enjoys? We love to go camping. I think that is our favorite. It is relaxing even with the kids...they get to make new friends, swim when ever they want, get to enjoy the great out doors. Second would have to be swimming we all love to go to the local pool for a few hours and swim. Then we love talking long walks in our parks around Halifax...or the waterfront. We do so much togehter but these are our favorites...what about your family?

Because of my chronic illness, I am unable to participate in any physical activities. My husband took the kids snowboarding yesterday. He takes them skating and biking too. What I love to do as a family is play board games. We get a new one every Christmas and we have lots of fun playing games. We do have a swimming pool so we spend time out there together as a family in the summer but inevitably we will have a non-family member join us in our pool, which I don't much like. I prefer it just my husband, my girls and me.

The disadvantages of having a swimming pool. Everyone becomes your best friend when it is hot outside. And then they don't know when to leave. I can barely afford to feed my family, I don't need the whole neighbourhood dropping by and staying through the dinner hour. Dh thinks nothing of bbqing and feeding whoever is there but it really bugs me.

HMMMM i see your problem. We don't have a pool so we don't have people coming over. Luckily my hubby is a cheapy so he would not do that on a regular basis!!!Good luck keeping the free loaders out of your back yard...lol

Yeah board games are super fun!!!We enjoy them once and a while. I know what you mean about other people coming over! Sometimes you just want it to be your family!!

My families favorite activity to do to gether is swimming and cooking out together. Of course we can only do that in the summer time, but that is what we enjoy most. We like to play pool and games together in the winter time. We also enjoy riding our 4 wheelers in the summer.

Yes. We stay couped up in the winter time in the house because it is so cold outside and usually it is muddy and wet outside too. We work alot suring the winter so we can try and get outside in the summer and enjoy it and do a little yard work and some projects around the house too.

I know, we are not big winter people. My hubby loves hockey but that is about it. So we tend to hibernate in the winter. We go sledding a few times but I hate the cold so i tend to not go to many places unless it warms up drastically!!!The summer is our time of year as well. Seems like there is so much more to do!!!

Our favorite family activity is grilling outside. We all play games like catch or tag, etc.. while the food is cooking. Then we go sit at the picnic table to eat and then we go play some more. We also like to go down to the nature trail and explore.

There are actually alot of things I love doing with my kids...we like biking, hanging out at the fishing hole, having bonfires, hiking in our woods, traveling to visit family and friends, and doing what we're doing right now which is drawing, watching movies and just hanging out together :-D

I guess swimming is the family activity that we found to be enjoyable. My 2 boys like swimming very much but we don't do this often. Now its going to the malls that we like best, coz aside from window shopping and eating in the restaurants/ food chain inside malls, my sons also like to play video games.

Hmm... I think the majority here in my house would say bowling. The kids love it, and hubby and I have so much fun watching them! Second would probably be going to the beach. We live near quite a few, and we go often.
