How many families have a mother and a father that works on the week days and some of the weekends. That can make theri kids feel lonely in their early years, but once in school they do not seem to notice it much as their are absent in their house as their parents.
Saying this, we see we approach a situation were only weekends are available for most family interactions/activities. Saturday and Sunday, and on Sunday kids have to prepare their homework for school and parents have to get their work done. So the time spend in family is limited. (of course exeptions exists, such as: having a parent not working, long weekends, vacations, etc).
to make the most of your family, here are some activities you can all enjoy:
1) Movie Night
Here you can all gather around a TV and watch movies of your choosing. It is importatnt to remember that the person who chooses the movie have to change from time to time, so each member has the oportunity to choose. This could be done, for exaple, all Saturday nights. You may have pop corn, french fries, soda, etc.
Enjoy the rush of the rollacoasters together! Though if your children are too small we wouldn't recommend you to bring them.
Play many games with your children such as: shooting ducks, and catching fish and win enourmous stuffed animals.

2)Cook Together
Lets have a special dinner, or lunch or breakfast made by the hole family. It will teach the children how to cook, and the family will have a special time making their food. But parents have to be cautions of their children, as there is the risk of the child choping his finger off with the knife. That is why we recomend that children should have easy jobs in the kitchen such as: rinsing the salad, or passing the ingredients to their parents.
3) Go for a Picnic
Let the family eat outside, surrounded by fresh air and some green views. Enjoy the outdoor activities you could play like: freesbee, or football, or skipping the robe, and more. It doesn't have to be in a park, if having a large patio you can always have a picnic there. But it would be more interesting to get in another environment.
You could be lying on the floor or on brnches, it is absolutely optional!
4) Go to a theme park
Enjoy the rush of the rollacoasters together! Though if your children are too small we wouldn't recommend you to bring them. Play many games with your children such as: shooting ducks, and catching fish and win enourmous stuffed animals.
Go into various adrenalinic games. They seem to be safe. If a 78 year old man can still get on rollacoasters and get off alive, then you and your kids should too, though the 1st experience might be terrifying for the kid, or for the parent.
