So we took the plunge and went on a vacation with the whole family. My children are 8,9 and 10 but we have only been together as a family for two years. Before some behaviors were too difficult to deal with on the road. But my kids have come so far that I thought they were ready, and I was right. Thank goodness. We had a short trip to Atlanta, in case it didn't work out I didn't want to be stuck too long. I also didn't want to give them enough time to self destruct.
I learned something about my kids, 2/3 can't climb trees. So we will be having some trips to the playground and the forest for climbing as soon as it gets cool.
There's a place down in St Petersburg, an entire park dedicated to tree climbing. Now, its not the, typical find a tree and climb it type of park. They have harnesses and pulley's and all kinds of safety equipment. It's sounds kind of neat. I don't know I would want to take them there for their first time, but maybe after you break them in the old fashioned way.
ReplyDeleteGlad the vacation went well. Would love to hear more about it.
