I have a 7,5 and 1 year old and my wife and I were wondering what to purchase our kids to be used outside our backyard for the summer. We were thinking of swings but maybe not. What other toys/things can we buy for them so that they can play outside. Just nothing to do with water like waterslide or pool.
Answer
pogo sticks are fun to hop around on
swingball is a great fun game where kids try to hit the ball from the top to the bottom
aeroballs are balls which spin make a noise or pop when thrown
mini golf you can get fun mini golf sets
rope swing you tie some rope around the tire then tie the rope to a tree and sing on the tire
mini cricket can be safely enjoyed by everyone
hope these help :)

what are some ways to stay cool while camping in the summer?
Martinez
My kids insist on camping this summe before school starts back. The only problem is that it is 95 degrees!!
Answer
Go to a river!
You can't beat a cool flowing river for staying cool. You could rent an RV with AC, and go to a place with electric hookups, but you ought to be doing stuff with your kids. Even when you are not in the water, many river valleys are ten to twenty degrees cooler than the rest of the countryside. Your kids will enjoy the water a lot as well, and you will not have trouble entertaining them or getting them to sleep at night
The RV might not be a bad idea anyway, if you are not skilled with open fire meals, and you do not have a camp stove. It also eliminates the need to go buy about 20 other things you have to have for camping, and will not know you needed till after dark the first night.
Some of the things you might forget that are important for camping:
Sun Block!
Bug Spray!
Toilet Paper!
For tent camping;
*Extra blankets! They can realy make for a better nights sleep, and I have had a sleeping bag taken in the river before.
*Lighting; I recommend a couple flashlights for trips to the potty or exploration, and two "train lanterns" that will burn all night on one tank of oil. Donât forget the oil, and batteries!
*Plenty of ice, and plenty of WATER. Put all the blankets on top of your coolers during the day. Pack meat in a separate cooler from drinks and snacks if you can, or in a plastic container buried under everything else. Freeze everything you can before you pack, ecept your first meal. Plan a uncooked meal at lunch time, and start fires half an hour or more before you plan to cook.
*A large laundry soap jug is best for keeping hand wash water on the outskirts of camp; one with a spigot works the absolute best. Just refill with river water.
*Lawn chairs and fun noodles are a good idea. You do not need a chair for everyone, but at least one per adult and one more is a good idea. Fun noodles are cheap, and they do not leak like blow up water toys.
*Last but not least, time out at the river is ten thousand times better than time out any place else!
