I'm always worried about her getting too hot or getting too much sun. Do we just worry more then our mother's did or do you just know more now? I don't even remember putting on sunscreen as a kid and I always had an awesome tan!<br>Dananoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8816332910231771979.post-9093088038202350672009-06-25T17:04:59.000-07:002009-06-25T17:04:59.000-07:00I'm all for kids playing outside, in the fresh...I'm all for kids playing outside, in the fresh air, among nature. They're forced to use their imaginations which will ensure they won't become stupers (short as you know for annoyingly stupid persons) later.<br>Good for you!<br>Kelihttp://www.counterfeithumans.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8816332910231771979.post-61741076207937632672009-06-21T13:41:30.000-07:002009-06-21T13:41:30.000-07:00Good for you!

I'm thrilled that my girls beg to go outside daily and occupy themselves with bubbles, sidewalk chalk and kiddie pool time. I just hope they keep that mindset for many summers to come!<br>Angiehttp://anticswithangie.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8816332910231771979.post-2429881422373518442009-06-15T12:41:22.000-07:002009-06-15T12:41:22.000-07:00Yep.

Now that the sun is out I don't see them unless the 'group' is in my yard or pounding on the door demanding ice cream or water. It's really the best thing EVER.

Backyards can be magical places when you are a kid. My sister and I had dogwood trees to climb, swing sets to imagine into spaceships, and flowerbeds in which to bury trinkets.<br>When we went to my best friend's house, we played in what we affectionately referred to as "the ditch." Yes, "the ditch." We pretended to find arrowheads, tried to dig a hole to China, and played "orphans." (Why is it that being parent-less is such a fun fantasy as a child?)<br>The point is: the world has a way of unlocking itself to children. Ultimately, it is kind of you to lock the door!<br>Rachel H.
