Go Play Outside!

Wednesday 15 October 2008

Go play outside. But before you do, go read Jennifer (and boy, dontchajust love that photo? How cute and colour-coordinated are little girls ):

I do wonder how the children of this young generation who are growing up with the recycling religion and the earth day mentality of celebrating the earth by planting a seedling and then going home to their computers, will be able to appreciate and care for their first home.

  1. Oh what a beautiful picture! Girls do have great taste in color coordination! Or perhaps their mothers do! lol!

    Good Post!

  2. I hope beyond hope that we will be able to foster that. At least I have ingrained in them a love of the ocean, even if I don't take them camping and all. And we go hiking and talk about things in the forest.

    But yeah, I grew up climbing trees and damming streams and all.

  3. Thankfully Mike and I are very outdoorsy... We're trying to limit Maggie's TV intake... although it does give us great breaks sometimes: ) Today I felt kinda crapy when I woke up (probably cause I went to bed at 3:00 and have been eating junky...) but once Maggie and I went to the park to play I felt so much better! She perked up too. It was just perfect out...

  5. Nicole - it's such a great pic, isn't it? Jennifer is very talented. And yeah, you're right - you don't see many mothers dressing their little girls in black or red do you? :)

    Erin - damming streams, huh? Cool :) But yeah, I grew up outside too. It must be hard letting your kids play outside when there's such a big peer group pressure thing against it.

    Manuela - ahh, nice going to the park :) I'm not as outdoorsy as I would like to be, actually, although I spend time outside every day.

    Jennifer - that's an interesting accent you've got going there? Is it Polish or something? :)
