Go Outside, a set on Flickr.
You don't have to put in a lot of planning or be at all elaborate. Most of the time, your kids just want to be with you, and it won't matter that they are not at the zoo or a theme park. Just go outside! Be it a park down the street or right in the backyard, take that extra 15 minutes and fill the birdfeeders. Get to know your local sanitation and recycling crews. Enlist your child's help in yardwork. Take a walk around the block.
If you have some more time, find a good cause and register the family for a 5K. Go to a neighborhood celebration or a parade (there are a lot of these in the Twin Cities).
