I’m not going to jump in and save them but am supporting my kid in what they suggest to the group.

They’ve sort of done “everything” at this is point in the summer. The conversation comes to a dead end due to this.

What? School ended 2-3 weeks ago. How have they done everything?

Seeing a friend to get lunch, but this is rare. He has autism but has a few friends, mostly nerdier NT boys. They don't seem to hang in person that often.

16 - at a river front teenage hangout tonight with some of her friends. Then tomorrow is getting her hair done. More hanging out probably. She drives so not applicable for you probably but they generally on the weekend go to the pool, river, thrifting, different peoples houses, eat out spots. They’ve done some off beat things like geocaching and “randonaughting” when bored. On a lucky weekend someone has a party which seems to usually be 10 kids max but occasionally has been a lot more.

14 yo goes to the pool, food carts, mall, thrifting, park to “tan”, her world is a little smaller bc of no car.

Oh and 14 yo is babysitting tomorrow - then hanging out with a friend after. No set plan

Watching the Euros !!! Teens are huge Germany soccer fans.

11 yo DD. Birthday party at somebody's pool today, and hosting a playdate tomorrow. They're going to do crafts and a no-bake dessert at the playdate.

Kid has chores and music practice, reads in her downtime, needs to write some birthday thank you letters, and her grandparents would love a call. If she turns up bored, I send her to those things.

Bike to pool and play with friends there.
They also roam from house to house, play board games or video games and just mess around with friends in the basement. The 12 yr olds have gotten back into messing with the nerf guns since schools been out. They might go play tennis.

So far they have been busy during the week between swim and tennis and friends and pool, plus the older one working and taking a class, that they like just hanging out with each other on the weekends too if friends not around.

This is my kids too. They are really busy on weekdays so will do maybe a little tennis or pool or pickleball on a weekend with us but not really their preference. If they can't find a live kid to hang out with, they chat online, online game together. I don't know if they facetime + game or the chat is part of the game, but they are pretty social that way too, with a wide variety of kids.

13, 8th grader. Plans I’ve heard about so far: Skateboarding, swimming, playing guitar, hanging at the guitar shop, getting a haircut, and then shopping and going for pizza with friends.

14 year old -
Friday afternoon/night he hung out with friends - basketball, ordered pizzas, walked to the pool
Saturday - he'll sleep til 11-ish, lay around, make himself breakfast/lunch, practice hitting (baseball), work out, watch a baseball game, screens, do his laundry, etc. Basically nothing
Sunday - playing baseball double header

11 year old -
He's been doing a fine arts camp all week. Saturday will be watching the Euros, baking something with the fruit from our CSA, maybe pool
Sunday we'll go to brother's baseball game.

14 year old went to the movies yesterday, went shopping with me today, and is now on the phone with friends. Later they will do PT for a recent knee surgery and pack for our upcoming trip.
