    There's some fantastic ideas here that we'll certainly be tackling over the long weekend. One of the `must do' activities is getting the garden back in order after a bumper crop of veggies over the summer. Our daughter loves choosing what vegetables we're going to grow and then helping plant them. Great slideshow.

    Great post! We've been spending lots of time outside lately, including going on math quests - http://beebopparade.blogspot.com/2011/04/math-at-arboretum.html (This one was in an arboretum, but it'd go just as well in the backyard or a neighborhood park).

    Adore. Anything that gets us outside in the sunshine (or rain, whatever is going!) is okay by me. This is fab. Thanks to all. x
