This past weekend, the boys and I along with other fathers and/or uncles, spent the weekend camping at Pinchot state park in York County, PA.
It's always nice to pull into a state park, set up a tent, and just relax. The cost is so low that you never have to worry if you're getting your money's worth, and life is reduced to its most simplistic state. It's also a real joy to watch the kids run around unfettered, and not have to worry about them. It reminds me of my childhood 40 years ago when we ran around our neighborhood all the time playing, and not under the supervision of adults.
Activities for the weekend included fishing, shooting BB guns, swimming, exploring the trails, and an owl program/walk. Of course, this was primarily the kid's agenda. The adults pretty much enjoyed the downtime when the kids were playing the latest game they invented. Their creativity is heightened when they are without electronic devices.
Hopefully, we'll get out again before soccer and school get underway in full force.
