Personally I like the fishing trip idea but it’s nice just to have a list of options that don’t involve the television and video games. The glow sticks ar ea favorite at our house and the bubbles are always a hit. For treats we make a thick smoothie with real fruit and then freeze the excess for popcycles later.
