My nephews are coming to visit Sun-Wednesday. We're going to HP on Wednesday. DH is away so I'm a little nervous about entertaining them. He's the "fun one". I want to make it enjoyable so they want to come back but I also don't want to be running all over creation with DS and make him a crabass. I'm letting the kids pick what they want but this is what I came up with so far. Anything else fun I'm not thinking of? I also looked into the cooking school at Giant because they both enjoy that but there's nothing while they're here & there are no senators games.
Civil War Museum (one nephew is pretty nerdy), Gettysburg, that little thing off 81 in Carlisle with the tank and helicopter (not sure what it is), Coliseum, Carlisle Sports Emporium, The Auto Museum (my one nephew is really into cars), whittaker center & imax, golf on city island. We'll also be cooking & baking some.
Re: Things to do with 8 & 10 year olds?
Some awesome and free things to do: Barnes and nobles offers Story time on Tuesdays and Wednesday at 11! Also local library's are also offering story time in the mid afternoon. Home depot offers children's activity classes, Sometimes they make things like bird houses!
I am not sure how far you are from Lancaster but there is always The Amish Touristy things to do!
