Awesome! Boys love to be outside. I have discovered that girls do too. I have two daughters - 13 and 3. The teenager likes to go as long as she can take a friend, but my little one would go by herself if she could get there. Even my city slicker wife enjoys it. I was raised up camping with my family, and the Boy Scouts - even long into my 20s we tent camped. I talked my wife into buying my first travel trailer (always borrowed a family members camper until then) and we can't get out of the house fast enough. We too have a no electronics rule (unless it rains, and we have a TV and DVD player available) and the kids don't even ask. They are too busy discovering things, or riding bikes around the campground. It gives my wife and I time for an adult beverage and some stress-free time together.
Art is art, isn't it? Still, on the other hand, water is water. And east is east and west is west and if you take cranberries and stew them like applesauce they taste much more like prunes than rhubarb does. Now you tell me what you know. - Groucho Marx
We tend to bring their ipods and dvds palyer for the kids 10.5 & 7.5 and until we all head in for a movie at bedtime they are seldom used even in the car driving.
I love to hear that kids love camping. My kids are always telling me lets go camping almost every weekend. So we at least try to go as many times as possible during the summer even if its just a weekend trip.
