I remember as a kid, I started out playing outside all the time. Then when I was 8, my interest in videogames suddenly ramped up and my time spent outside went on a downward slope that didn't ease up until about a year ago. I'm still at my all-time lowest level. Even when I exercise I mostly do it indoors, and working nights like I do makes being outdoors inconvenient. It's just the way our modern society is; we increasingly have tons of inside entertainment while outside stuff has remained constant or even decreased.mjmjr25 wrote:How old are your kids?gtmtnbiker wrote:Yes, definitely nice scenery.

My kids are becoming the same way and it's sad. We make a point to get them outside everyday the weather isn't a problem.
Sometimes they are resistant, but without fail, anytime we get them outside, they have fun and find things to do.

You realize that you are asking your kids to go outside when you have a massive underground arcade lair for them to spend their time in, right? How can mother nature compete with the PGM1 collection and a Candy Cab?!mjmjr25 wrote:How old are your kids?gtmtnbiker wrote:Yes, definitely nice scenery. Glad that you're out enjoying the fresh air.

They're 12 & 9. I shouldn't have to twist their arms to be outside. I think if they were with their friends, they wouldn't mind it as much but we don't have any kids their age in our neighborhood.mjmjr25 wrote:How old are your kids?gtmtnbiker wrote:Yes, definitely nice scenery.
