My DD and DS have just returned from a scout camp, where they made a slide out of old tarps and carried water up from the river to make it slippery and spent hours sliding down it, having a great time. They had a huge rope swing which swung them high out over the river and then they let go. They went canoeing and swimming all those great things we did as children, before the fun police told us it was dangerous.
Thank goodness there are still ways out there that kids can have some good old fashion fun without electronic gadgets.
Boy, do I have alot of clothes to wash LOL, and they have a few sore muscles but their smiles are worth it. They survived!!!!!
