So ‘little’ and I got together last week and compiled a list of activities that we both want to do!! We’re always looking for new exciting ideas that are cheap, so if you have any please leave them here in the comments. We plan on evolving this list as it goes here.
- Twins Game
- Basketball at the Park
-Ice cream at the Grand ol’ Creamery
-Science Museum (exhibit and show)
$3 bucks a piece if you’re part of BBBS! It’s usually about $25.
- Fly fishing and canoeing in Taylors Falls
Neither of us have done this before
- Playing video games at his house and piggin out on junk food!!
We’re saving this for a rainy day
- Read a book together
He likes Goosebumps, I like older classics. We’ll have to compromise (Paper Rock Scissors??)
- Changing Oil and General Spring Tune Up
- Go to my Sunday Softball Games
He wants to be the bat boy!
- Batting Cages
- Hike Minnehaha Falls (via @nicycle)
- Head to a Museum Through the Musem Adventure Pass (Via @HClib)
- Super Science Saturday (Via @maggiekb1)
- Check out a police & fire depatment and get a ride in a squad/fire engine
‘little’ wants to be a cop and my college roommates are both cops. Also have a fire fighter friend in DT St. Paul
- St. Paul Saints Game (Baseball)
- Take a cruise in the old convertible Volkswagon beatle to Stillwater and get ice cream
-Head up to my folks lake house for a swim and Jet ski ride
Only if mom okay’s the jet ski
- Go to ‘little’s’ church w/ him
He really wants me to go with him, sounds like it’s pretty charismatic! I dig it!
- SCSU (alma mater) v. MN Hockey Game
We were talking fun sporting events we’ve been too and after I told him about this he was pretty excited! Obviously this one will have to wait a while.
Bigs, what do you like to do with your little’s. Parents, any good ideas that you’ve already tested with your kids?? Always looking for cool new ideas.
The most suprising thing about this whole experience is how much it is making me get out of myself and do things I would never even think of doing and having a blast!!
After original post additions:
- Volunteer (via @dkix)
Feed My Starving Children or The Cookie Cart in DT Minneapolis
- Dog walking and cleaning out garage???
(via @mister_pickles & @malbiniak)
I can see option 1 happening. Option 2 I’m still on the fence about.
- Bike riding &/or rollerblading (via my Mom)
She’s a work out guru!!
- Check out some old classic down in Watertown (1 hour drive, via @rycera)
I’d be down for a little mini road trip… could be a good time! Plus ‘little’ really digs cars!
- Wild Rumpus Bookstore
“Snuggle up with a book… or a cat!!” That’s there catch phrase. Apparently they have small animals running around the bookstore!! Sounds magical!
