tim237 Posted July 28, 2013 Report Share Posted July 28, 2013 The National Trust (a UK charity) have given this list of 50 things to do before you 11 and 3/4 and I think it's awesome. If you have kids, definitely get them to do it. If not, why not have a try yourself?

Huntress Posted July 28, 2013 Report Share Posted July 28, 2013 I love it. I'm 27 and now I'm thinking of giving these a try! You're never to old to explore the world like a child.

UltanBoyd Posted July 28, 2013 Report Share Posted July 28, 2013 My friend came up with this campaign. I love that it has spread across the globe. I'll let her know about this.

wideeyed Posted July 28, 2013 Report Share Posted July 28, 2013 I LOVE this. Going to bring it to share with the Cub Scout pack. We've done quite a few of these, but can set a goal of completing ALL of them.

Wish I was one Pooh sticks is a game from Winnie the Pooh. You stand on a bridge, each with a stick and you throw your sticks into the river. Then you run to the other side and see whose stick comes out first: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1q0gectxDNQ Quote Level 1My Current 6-Week ChallengeAngry Birds Workout: 50 overhead squats/50 incline push-ups/120 secs of plank // Zombie Run 5k: Week 2 Level 1, 7.46 km/h // Paleo Food // Learn Greek (Level 3/10) Link to comment

Mad Hatter Posted July 29, 2013 Report Share Posted July 29, 2013 Nice list! It's not on there, but I feel like my life won't be complete until I've built a proper treehouse 27 year old kids can play too! Quote Link to comment

18ck Posted July 29, 2013 Report Share Posted July 29, 2013 We're big fans of the 50 things in our house. We started chipping away at them a year or two back when they were first released and I think my daughter is going to manage all 50 before she reaches the ripe old age of 11.

EchoWolf Posted July 29, 2013 Report Share Posted July 29, 2013 I think I did almost all of these before I was eleven, maybe because I'm British and am lucky to have some woods nearby, was like a whole other world to us. You can tell they were awesome because I can remember every one of them that I did ask me to remember how I learned to add 2+2 and I'd look at you like you're crazy. May have to do this list again...

UltanBoyd Posted August 9, 2013 Report Share Posted August 9, 2013 This marketing campaign is up for two awards which would look awesome for my friend. If you wouldn't mind voting there's two vote things. http://interactive.brandrepublic.com/future5/thebigidea.html and http://interactive.brandrepublic.com/future5/audienceparticipation.html Takes like two seconds and supports a campaign to get people out and about and walking.

Krisis Posted August 10, 2013 Report Share Posted August 10, 2013 Damn cold camping out in those parts after dark, though a better chance of seeing the Milky Way than in uber-lit England! I'll never forget being woken up at 6am one Wednesday morning by an enthusiastically loud cheerleading practice at the high school behind our Moab camp site. Bleh. In Florida we lived a block away from the high school. Gave me even more reasons to hate those football games (I was attending that high school at the time, even. So much for school spirit!) We were going to go camping today, but my poor 5 year old was throwing up all last night. I was so bummed. He was too, but I took him to see a movie instead and so he's over it. I'm not. That movie was dumb. Yeah, we live near Medicine Bow National Forest, and Vedawoo... kids will definitely be introduced to these! Krisis. sounds like you are just west on I-80 of us =D Ah I-80...I know it well :-) We live in the Salt Lake Valley. My best friend is going to be visiting us from Denver in October and I'm thinking about driving us straight to Moab from the airport. I've lived in Utah for 90% of my life and never been to Moab! Totally lame. In my defense, I freaking hate the heat. Blech. Also, totally voted for your friend, Ultan! Quote http://sharethesong.blogspot.com Link to comment
