An open appeal for spring break inspiration.
Spring break begins tomorrow.
As is usually the case, we are not traveling anywhere over this vacation.
So I’m trying to think of fun, inexpensive things to do with the kids during the week. This is what I’ve thought of so far:
- going to the zoo
- going to a park we’ve never gone to before
- swimming (indoor pool)
- riding the city bus downtown to visit the main library
- taking a trip to Old Town to eat lunch with daddy
At our kids’ ages, most ideas (like #1,2,3 above) are waaaay more appealing with friends along, so I’m working on that. But I’d love a few more options.

How about coming to KC for a little get away…free food and lodging :)
tam, that sounds great. I mean, the most important thing here is that the kids are loved on and have a wonderful spring break.
Sheesh…
im glad you like the band idea.
it just kinda, came to me.
see? brent? I was going to thank you for the altogether genius idea. and then you had to go and make fun of ME for YOUR bad grammar.
so. tam… thanks for the genius ideas. truly. you’re crazy for saying you’re not the creative mom. I ESPECIALLY love the one about the band. You are my favorite Hodge of all.
and I know at least two Hodges.
tam, your hot
But for Kim’s sake.
tam, you’re hot…

“Give them the week, starting Monday, to put a band together. By Friday of Spring Break, they need to perform at least one original song. Then deck out the barn with lights and sound and hold a concert for all their friends :)”
yah. thats it.
Your kids musical?

thank you thank you for the fun ideas!
There were a couple of years that my dad did a scavenger hunt around Wichita for me and my brother. That would take some thinking on your part, but I remember it was a pretty fun day.
Do you have CAFFEINE FOR THE CREATIVE MIND.. it has some daily creative exercises. I used it on our family vacation last year.. it was great!
what about a trolley ride downtown. they used to do a lunch trolley that was fun!
