With the kids home for the summer, we have more time to do big activities. Each day I try to do something that they will enjoy. On Tuesday we went on a Nature Hike at the park. The park has a fitness trail that's about 1 1/2 miles. We took a bucket and collected things along our hike. 
Here's Sarah collecting some blossoms from a dogwood tree. (We got home and looked up all the things we collected and found out what they were)
Along the fitness trail were different "fitness" activities to do. Here they are doing chin ups at a stop along the trail.
We also took a break along the trail and played on some swings.
William the Conquerer strikes again! Literally. He struck the table and it was conquered!. :) (Actually, we think a tree fell on it in a recent storm.)
We also had fun looking at the ducks. Or rather, chasing them down in William's case.

William is too little go in the pool without a grown up, so he helped me in the kitchen. We had barbecued ribs, potato salad, watermelon, corn on the cob, chips, etc. William helped with most of if. He loved helping me wash the corn.
