Wow...that was such a good idea. In past summers I have brought my younger two to a small island. We stay in a cabin by the lake.
No TV, no phone, and especially no computer. It takes about a day for my kids to start talking. My son usually gets up at 7am and is out in the row boat fishing or at least trying. He stays out there for hours. At home I can't get him out of bed.
I plan to take them skiing in March which is all I can afford but may try to get away for at least a weekend in the woods. I forgot about how powerful these trips are. My kids are growing up so fast.
Thanks for that insight, I really appreciate it. Sometimes I find that I am so busy parenting/working/taking care of my parents, that as they get older we spend less and less time talking. We are all in the same house doing our own thing.
Again, thanks.
Kate
