My children are in their thirties now and they both say their favourite memory is of the day we put wellie boots on and waded up the river. (A river to us but a shallow stream in reality.) The dogs came too and we made our way slowly up river, finding our way around the deeper parts that threatened to overwhelm the boots. It was a huge adventure, cost nothing and the memory of that summers day has stayed with them into adulthood with great affection.

A recent trip to the wood had my son showing his children how to build a shelter, and simple tracking signs remembered from his days in the boy scouts. They loved it.

It's not the money you spend but the time you spend that makes happy memories. I'm sure you'll have great fun, just being together.
