I would welcome ideas for enjoying the outdoors...

...other than walks, with my children; I have severe back problem I would welcome ideas as I love to enjoy the outdoors but can't walk too long due to back problems; I have a croquet set coming for Christmas; I would like other ideas on toys/games/activities that would be good to enjoy outdoors and share with children from 10 yrs old to late teens. Thank you!

Try biking, unless that hurts your back or try a picnic at the park, frisbee, picking apples (you just stand at the bottom of the tree and hold the ladder and say "you wont fall! i've got you!" and its funner with your two feet on solid ground! Hope your back becomes better!

There are quite a few lawn games out there like Bocce Ball that you could play sitting down. Also you might see if there are historic railroads that run scenic tours, they travel a little slower and have open cars for viewing. Back pain can be a real hinderance try and hang in there and build up that back.
