The kids were still with us today so off we went to play mini golf. By Googling I found three discounts for the local mini golf course, each better than the last, so we ended up only paying $6.95. $5 off the regular price. Even the girl who took our money said she had never seen a coupon for such a low price! The rest of the day we spent at home at the kids' request. Hubby and I are both baffled that the kids actually prefer to sit at home all day with their phones and tablets instead of going out and doing things! It seems really abnormal but maybe that is the new normal for kids? When we were kids we couldn't wait to get outside each day and spent the entire day doing things with our friends these days...it's just the opposite? Color me confused!
You don't really know what they would prefer to do if they did not have their phones or ipads. I am so glad these were not available when my children were little in the 60's and 70's. My kids would have been inside all day watching tv if I had not limited their tv time to an hour.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad those items werent around when we were kids, I think we would have missed out on so many cool experiences if our faces were stuck to an ipad day in and day out!
