Keeping them busy.......(part 2)

The day of the actual family reunion we all congregate at the local state park shelter. Usually there are several different things for the children to do outdoors, which is the perfect place for children with ADHD to be. My children with ADHD are just so much happier, calmer, and less ugly to each other when they are outdoors. They normally get to participate is such activities as hiking around the lake, a game of horseshoes, exploring for bugs and spiders, blowing bubbles, and collecting rocks.

Well, not this year!!!

So here are some of the things we did to keep children from running around and making a general nuisance of themselves:

Making sun catchers with paint.






Making sand bottles.




Playing a rousing game or two of Yahtzee (a family favorite).



Playing in the outdoors anyway!!





And of course, there WAS a little of this kind of thing....






....and this kind of thing (I don't know if you can tell in this picture that he is dripping wet from falling down flat on his belly in a puddle!)





.....and this!!!!
