Quick question, does "Was Lust sie tun?" or "Habt sie Lust, was zu tun?" mean, "What do you want to do?"? I haven't been learning German for very long and the textbook didn't explain this very well.

As you are German then you probably don't know too much about your native language. Imperfect is actually the default simple folk way of speech. Perfect is literature and everyday speech of people who want to be perceived as educated and sophisticated.
I would expect to hear "Wir verbrachten die Ferien auf dem Lande" (although it is more probable someone says just the name of the place) or its form in Perfect.
