[quote=Anonymous]Mine are 5 and 2 and lots of things are enjoyable. Just not for hours and interspersed with non fun moments. You also have to know your kids and set them up for a good time and lower expectations. The pool is a lot of fun. DH and I both go and if grandparents come its even better. Morning breakfast (outside) at a diner is fun. My kids like pancakes and behave well there and we know all the servers since we have gone there since before they were born. Hikes are fun too as long as they are not too challenging. We have a strict schedule and get out of the house by 8:30 (7 for breakfast) and do lunch as picnic or at home and nap/quiet time. I wouldn't take them for an adventure in the afternoon as they are both crankier. 
If nothing is enjoyable for you then its something, either your attitude, kids are consistently not comfortable so overtired, hungry, also anxious etc. 1.5 is also pretty tough but the 4 year old should have things they consistently like to do by now. . [/quote]
