Simple Outdoor Fun and Games – My Country Kids at Play!
The Country Kids Link Up over on the fantastic Blog and Website Coombe Mill(thanks for the reminder tweet and shout out on twitter on Friday, Fiona) is one of my favourite link ups as it is specifically for sharing outdoor family fun, something I am pretty passionate about. Usually, I link up one of my posts from during the week about some outdoor activity we have done or somewhere we have visited as a family that is suitable for the family fun outdoors theme. This week, however, I decided to put together a post specifically for the link up which will also form a lovely keepsake for Doodles and Oodles of all the fun they have had together in our garden over the past week just being children!
Doodles and Oodles absolutely love playing outside. O in particular would be outdoors 24/7 is she was allowed and has often popped her wellies on over her jammies and bounced outside for one last play on the swings before bedtime!
What child doesn’t love to be out and about, enjoying the fresh air. They are itching to get out as I write this! So, I’m off to see what other adventures they will have in our garden this afternoon!
Thanks for reading and if you have a post about great, family fun why not link up with Country Kids at Coombe Mill!
Thanks you so much for your kind words Ciara, I am continually inspired by all the lovely bloggers and wonderful outside play posts that link up each week. I can see that D and O have had some great fun and adventures outdoors this week, they are such great company for each other. Love the photo of them playing with the hose and having a ride in the wheelbarrow. Thanks for linking up and sharing.
Thank you! Poor Minnie is persecuted by our youngest who seems to think Minnie should be her playmate all of the time and is convinced that she should eat Rice Krispies! Thanks for visiting 🙂
I love the inspiration of linking up to #CountryKids each week. Just being outside and enjoying the simple outdoor pursuits like watering with a hose and loading the wheelbarrow up is enough. Looks like your two have figured that out.
This is a lovely post x I love #CountryKids as well, for the same reasons, it really gets me outside, even when the weather isn’t great! My lot love being in the garden too, some water, some balls and they’re happy 🙂
I find getting outside even for a few minutes, even if the weather isn’t great can really help improve everyone’s mood and energy! (It’s sooooooo much easier though when the weather is reasonably ok :D)
My daughter who is 2 would live in the middle of a field if she was allowed!!! There’s nothing like playing outdoors. The water table is a huge favourite in our house too!

Exactly! The only type of weather that puts my 2 off is wind, they love to play in the rain! Thanks so much for taking the time to comment again 🙂

I know, I wish I was small enough to ride around in a wheelbarrow still 🙂

There is great excitement every Spring when the cows return to the fields after the winter! Everyone who visits the house is fascinated by them!

S lives in her jammies. If I never got her dressed she would be perfectly content and it’s usually not worth the fight. 😉 great outside activities!
