[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here. Well the old west town has been a hit with other visitors. There’s a stunt show/gun fighting, a magic show, little shops, a place to mine for gold, a haunted train ride through a grave yard, and even horses you can ride and feed. We also had lunch there in an old timey outdoor picnic/covered wagon kind of camp. Plus we got homemade ice cream.

The shirt thing was at a local university I’m encouraging them to consider. I don’t think anyone has ever talked to them about college,?s so I took them to the college to buy t shirts and walk around for literally 15 minutes  and yeah I wanted the cute photo op of them in their college shirts. That was also a complaint-fest.[/quote]

My 12 year old tween DD would hate that. And no she's not bratty.  Did you entertain other tween girls and boys this summer and take them to this exhibit and it was a hit with them?  OP, I am sure you mean well, but making stereotypes based on their income levels and genders really rubs the wrong way.  You think your two DS's won't be bratty or annoying when they're tweens? Even with family members?  Hilarious, that's a great joke.  Keep on believing that.[/quote]

Op here. Um I guess thanks for the Monday morning quarterbacking?

If you look up thread, I describe the plan we made jointly for the weekend.

In addition to them being the age that they are, there’s three of them with three sets of preferences.

And the pandemic makes options pretty limited for what activities we can do.

So what I’m supposed to just leave it up to them the whole trip? If I did that it would be driving from one Starbucks to another with stops at McDonald’s in between along with a dozen hours of iPad time per day.

I sent them links for each activity I wanted to do in advance, and they were on board. One of the kids liked the pioneer village. Another kid didn’t but she got to go on a horseback ride through a dude ranch/mountain trail and she enjoyed that part. [/quote]
