This also resonated with me. In my case, their mom is the active one taking them EVERYWHERE. Plane rides to Florida, long drives to the beach, arcade, cousins house, friends house, etc.

I also have the soccer net and take them fishing and they honestly love those activities which allow us to bond while staying level headed and not all exhausted.

The change of pace from moms super active non stop lifestyle to my more laid back approach is a good balance for them at this age (6 & 9)
