Grandparents.com always has great ideas. Just recently it featured 13 grandparents sharing outdoor summer activities they do with their own grandchildren that strengthens their bonds:1. Run or maybe walk to the park
2. Plant a veggie garden
3. Pull that bathing suit out of the drawer and play in the pool
4. Camp in your backyard (sleep in the tent, sing, make s'mores)
5. Make your own rules to old games--get the ball over the net any which way you can
6. Smell the roses and watch the birds
7. Go take a hike--really
8. Go to the beach--boat, build sandcastles, draw in the sand, picnic
9. Climb the jungle gym and slide
10. Scavenge for art supplies in the great outdoors--find the pine cone, sticks, leaves
11. Travel to a national park
12. Go fish (not the card game)
13. Rollerblade (a little too daring for me!)
