I use a lot of my time, preparing for roleplaying. Somehow I also looove to chop wood.
My brother, my sister and I sometimes make caves in the forest. I'd say mine is best :-D
Sometimes we also go to the barn, and build something (With saws, nails, the wood I chop and eventually some paint). It gets the family a lot closer, although my big brother never wants to come with us. He stays home, playing some game named Heroes of Newerth with his nerd friends. Then he takes all chips/chocolate/cake/icecream, whatever we have, and eat it. He also uses the 200$ he gets from the state every month.

I suggest that more people do things like this. I dont know if everyone will like it, but it's worth giving it a try. There are probably some people that are going to be like me brother. But I love doing it.
