Weekend away, no equipment - ideas for bodyweight exercises?

I'm at my sister's place, minding the kids whilst she and her husband are away for a couple of days. I'm missing my Friday SL5x5, but managed to sneak in an 8k run earlier. However, I'd like to do something lifting-related, to keep up some momentum.

Any suggestions? I'm thinking press-ups, maybe unladen squats (and lots of them, or is this a waste of time?) - anything else worthwhile?

P.S. if you can L-hold or shrimp squat, I would die of happiness!

How big are the kids? Can you squat them or something else? I have squatted 40 lb bags of dog food in the past. Just went higher reps--2 minutes or 25 reps, for example.

Take them to the playground and play on the monkey bars, fireman pole, etc. It's good exercise.

Look up "Playground Exercises" There is a ton you can do at the Playground just using body weight.
