My kids are older now but they remind me of or remember fun things I did for/with them as kids. It makes me very happy that they have those memories.
A few they've recently brought up.
Big snow - All the dad's got together and built them a huge snow chute for riding sleds. About 250' long with obstacles, including dogs that wanted to nip at them in a friendly manner as trying to protect them as they flew down the hill.
I bought a rubber weather balloon. A big one. No idea why. I blew it up to around a 12 foot diameter and let them use it as a ball. They're about 3' tall so kicking or tackling a ball 12' was just awesome to them.
We live in the country so ATV's are a way of life and transportation. They got their first (battery operated) around 3 years-old. They got gas ATV's when they turned 6. They would drive them constantly. We had about a 1/5 mile track with 2 creek crossings. They loved it and came home completely covered in mud.
What say you?
