1- run through the sprinkler, have squirt gun fights on the "HOT" days
2- Make homemade ice cream (I have an easy recipe for shaking/making in a baggie.. shoot me an email in the alt)
3- Plan & take a "mystery" trip.. pack the car with a picnic lunch, wake up the kids, tell them they are going on an adventure but don't tell them where.. have new CD's/DVD's (from the library) to listen/watch on the trip, give them a disposable camera to record their trip from their viewpoint
Place I took my kids.. Blue Bunny ice cream factory in LeMars, Science Museum in Des Moines, Jester Park horseback riding outside Des Moines, corn maze (there has to be one near you?), mini-golfing, state fair,
4- outdoor water park or swimming pool
5-Campfire- hot dogs & smoores after dark
6- Sidewalk art with sidewalk chalk
7- Bike trails (not sure how good your 2 are on bikes yet?)
8- Go fishing, frog hunting, worm drowning
9- bubble making with hula hoops & kiddie pool with bubble solution in that
10- make slime, oobleck (again let me know if you want the recipes)
have fun, take pictures

Taking the road less traveled because those encountered on the way may be just as unique.
