Whenever I ask my kids what they would like to do with me, it is always "Lets go paint pottery." The first time we went Jake was 9 months old and Lindsay was 6. She loved it and he had no idea what was going on, but he did end up with paint all over his hands and feet.
Since then we have tried to go at least once a year, but as they have gotten older, they want to go a lot more often, i think we have gone 3 times this year already.
We always stop at Sonic and get sodas to take with us, because we take so long. Then we get there and have to figure out what to paint, and what colors to use. Then we sit down and paint. It is always fun to make something and look at how their personalities have changed in what they like over the years, , but my favorite part is the time that we spend together we are usually there 2 or 3 hours and i get my kids undivided time, and they get mine. We have had a lot of good conversations over painting, had a lot of serious talks, have just gotten filled in on everything going on in their lives and have laughed a lot:) I love looking around my house at all the memories that we have made together, and I look forward to making lots more.
