You can go rafting on the Poudre River. It's a fairly tame ride, and a lot of fun. There are several rafting companies - here's one website:

Rocky Mountain National Park is less than an hour away. Estes Park is a fun little resort town, with touristy shopping and food. A horseride in RMNP might be fun.
Fort Collins has New West Fest on August 18-20. It's nothing big, but kind of fun to stroll around.

Just a couple suggestions.

Aw, it's too bad you're not coming a week earlier. There is going to be a fantabulous production of Disney's "Beauty and the Beast" running in Ft Collins July 20, 21, 27, 28, 29th!

I would suggest going to Estes Park and the Rocky Mountain National Park. Maybe go to Rustic and rent a cabin, very nice and it only about 30 minutes from fort Collins. Last year every night bears walked through the cabin and camp ground.

Rocky Mountain National Park is a great way to spend the day! Gorgeous scenery, places to hike/picnic/take photos, etc. Look for elk, big horn sheep, marmots, mule deer, chipmunks, ground squirrels, Colorado jays, Abert's squirrels, etc. Trail Ridge road shoud be beautiful!
Boulder is also a great way to spend the day...tour NCAR (National Center for Atmospheric Research), it has great views of the city too! http://www.eo.ucar.edu/visit/
Stroll the Pearl Street pedestrian mall, eat a fabulous burger at Tom's Tavern on Pearl Street, relax and enjoy!

Fishing, boating, camping, hiking, biking, all kinds of recreation and plenty of shopping, it's only about 60 miles from Denver and there is plenty of activities you can do all along the Front Range and the many communities around the area.

Well, it depends on what your interests are. You very, very close to Rocky Mountain National Park. So you have hiking, camping, you can go horseback riding.
Denver isn't too far away, so there are all sorts of museums, the zoo. Kind of depends on how old your children are....there is Six Flags, baseball games.....
