That is what I and my husband are trying to achieve as well, keeping the super kids busy most of the time. If we let the kids' wander off their little minds could be influenced by all the inappropriate exposure which is bombarded through the media. We send them to any worthwhile activity camp. We plan to send them to <a href="http://www.madscience.org/" rel="nofollow">Mad Science</a> camp this year. They have promised it to be a hands-on program for children ages 5-12 sends them on a quest for exploration. The kids will get a chance to learn about the four forces of flight, the challenges of space travel, and participate in a rocket launch! I do hope that the boys will continue exploring the interest they would have developed from the camp. Also I have a full package of activities now from your absolutely useful blog to keep them busy through the summer. :) I completely agree with you ladies more.

Also, on the farm there was never any opportunity to get bored. Any spare time we used our imagination and came up with something to do. Or Mother and Father found work. I don't recall my daughter being bored either. We did something special each summer, but didn't have time to entertain her and her cousins. Often they were involved in our home business or went along when I covered a newspaper story about local attractions in our area. My daughter became my photographer during her teen years.

LOL! Wise woman. We all became very resourceful and independent about entertaining ourselves.
