Need outside activities for children to do at a family reunion?

Ginger S

Can anyone suggest any outside activities for children of all ages? This will be on July 4th so it will most likely be 100 degrees. I was thinking water balloons and squirt guns. If it doesn't cost too much maybe we could rent a water inflatable thing. Any other ideas? they can be water or not water related.. or even a few inside activities would be great or stations to set up so they can come and go.
Thanks!

Answer
outside activities;
kitty pool
sprinkler
rent or borrow a trampoline
pinata
squirt guns
shovels and buckets
tennis balls
volleyballs
hula hoops
jump ropes
bikes
scooters
chalk



Inside activities;
board games
Movies
you could put together a family photos video and show it at the reunion
markers and paper for coloring

that is about it for inside...more to do outside on a hot summers day. :) have fun at the picnic and I hope I helped.

Naturally ridding my backyard of green ants and meat ants?

water trampolines in australia image

Sephrenia

I have a really bad problem with meat ants and green ants in the backyard. It is a very big backyard and our main problem is with the ants is up near the house where the children's swing set and trampoline is.
I can't use poisons cause one of my children gets hives from that stuff and I don't wish too make our dog sick.
Is there anything natural that can be used to deter them from this area of the yard or urge them to move too move down the back of the yard?

Answer
Try ant baits that use boric acid as the active ingredient. The bait will make its way back to the colony and do more than spot treatments. Boric acid only becomes toxic to dogs/babies if they eat a big pile of it. The amount in a few baits won't do much of anything if eaten.

The green ants (Oecophylla smaragdina) nest in bushes and trees, so you can destroy the nest by cutting it down and drowning/burning it. They look like oversized cocoons made of silk and leaves.The meat ants (Iridomyrmex purpureus) nest in the ground and you can kill the nests by pouring a pot of boiling water into the entrance.

Another option - With meat ants and green ants, I'm guessing you live in Australia. If so, then those green ants make a tasty meal. Twist off the green ant butt and pop it in your mouth. Tastes like sour candy.
