The Incredibles....
Just wanted to say that the younger child might not be old enough to see "The Incredibles". While it's being marketed as a kid's movie, the themes in the movie are actually pretty adult. The mom dies in this movie, and a lot of critics are saying it wasn't meant to be seen by young children no matter how it's being marketed. In any case, you might go on line and read the plot and some info on it before making a decision.
On the activities note.....
My very active kids enjoy the park, rec center activities (swimming, basketball, free gym etc.), taking a walk to a nearby lake to skip stones, find bugs, climb trees etc., and really anything where they can just run off their energy. They'll shop for a little while but it's not a fun activity for them and would rather just run around. Plus I find if the day is too jam packed with stuff where they don't get to run off energy, they get a bit cranky and tired, but not tired enough to sleep.
Do you have a children's museum, zoo, bumble bounce gym, bowling alley, putt putt golf, etc. nearby? Those are fun and even the younger one can do these things.
In house activities - washable paints, coloring, leap pads, computer fun, videos, twister (you kind of make up your own rules on this one), legos, baking cookies and decorating them, body tracing (get big roll of paper and have them lie down, trace around them & then they color), playdough - love to make their own and it's easy, and I'm sure they'll have things to suggest to help you out. You could also check out some family websites that can offer more suggestions, games, crafts etc.
Have a great time!
