saturday visitation 1 Year, 10 Months ago
Hi everyone. I've recently been granted visitaion with my son every Saturday. I am running out of things to do during the five hours we're allowed together. There is absolutely no money for fun and I was wondering if anyone could give me some ideas what to do.

First, hey Lab gurus, can we ditch the spam above? People suck.

Micheal,
What tv shows/characters is your son into? He's 8? Perhaps plan/build some re-enactments with those characters. Do crafts related to them. (Make costumes, take photos.) Maybe write a "comic book" like page(s) using them, then one week draw the book or page(s), then the next, take photos instead, to replace each panel. A "live action" comic of sorts. Then cut out the thought/voice bubbles and paste them all on a page. Kinda like scrap-booking, only cooler and more manly. (Especially if it's an action comic and you can add POW! and KABLAM! graphics.)

The Geoboard that DaddyTroy talked about would kill a few hours, and wouldn't be terribly expensive. And it's educational, always a plus. If you have a GPS, perhaps geocaching? (It can be done without it, using google maps.) There's a "riddle" version of geocaching, without the tech... but for the life of me I can't find the link... I KNOW I saved it. Perhaps Daddy Troy has it, as I remember mentioning it to him as well. It seemed like more fun to me.

I'm totally shootin' in the dark here. Mine is only 2. But just some brainfarts I had and look forward to doing with TheBoy when he's older.

Edit: Found it! (don't know if it's the original one I found, but this is the thing)
