While your characters are still 1st or 2nd level, you could easily use/adapt any of the adventures that are available for general 3.5 D&D use. Somewhere in this section of the forum is a thread on a bunch of adventures available on-line. For my two sons (4 and 8), I ran them through one from the Wizards of the Coast (WotC) web site called "A Dark and Stormy Knight." Once you start getting more experience, however, you're going to start having problems since the Basic Book only has a few 1st level spells. You could simply ignore experience and continue to adventure as 2nd level characters, but that strikes me as unsatisfying for long, part of the fun of D&D is seeing your character grow and develop. A second option is to try to continue along using the Basic rules with some additions. I and some others cobbled together a simplified list of 1st and 2nd level wizard and cleric spells, as well as a shorter/simplified list of feats (although there are still lots to choose from). If you are interested, I could post it or send it to you if you want. A third option is to actually start using the full rules. You can find the core of the rules online at http://www.d20srd.org/ or http://www.systemreferencedocuments.org/35/sovelior_sage/home.html The first one has a bunch of nice extras (like an encounter calculator that tells you how much xp a fight is worth), the second version's links seem to work better. The actual Player's Handbook and Dungeon Master Guide are nice to have and have some key information like how much xp it takes to go up a level (but you should be able to figure it out if you notice the pattern from the Basic book: 1,000 to go from level 1 to 2, an addition of 2,000 more (or a total of 3,000) to go from 2nd to 3rd level, etc.). If you and your friends start getting the itch to buy the books, you can find them pretty cheaply at Amazon or elsewhere and maybe chip in together to buy one of each. I'd advise starting off fairly slowly, avoiding trickier rules like grappling, sundering, and tripping. As you get more experienced w/the rules, you'll be able to incorporate them w/out too much trouble. Good luck!
