Answer 2

Answer 3

what about 10 pin bowling? or horse riding? go out for a picnic (during the bike ride) take some good DVD's and board games in case the typical British weather does its job and your stuck indoors?

Ask the kids what they wanna do too

Have fun

Answer 4

how about just hang out? go to a local park with a big picnic basket and play frisbee and lay around and talk??? great time to connect, and not much money involved... one thing i've noticed with my kids is they forget the activity... but they remember the time spent just talking to me...

Answer 5

You could always take the ferry, from Lymington to the Isle of Wight and spend one day over there.

Answer 6

sounds like you will have a great time.  Stop worrying. They are more than old enough to tell you themselves what they want to do.  Is there a disco in the evenings?  Horse riding?  Take  a pack of cards in case it rains, otherwise, there won't be enough hours in the day for you .

You are a lovely Dad.  Stop fretting and look forward to your hols.

Answer 7

Well, my suggestion would be asking them whatthey would like to do.... Maybe a train ride to somewhere other than your house would be fun... Get them involved maybe they will show you new things
