Kids – Teens

by

We, or should I say I, talk alot about young children on the website.  But, I know many of you have older children, teens, tweens and college age even.  So, I went in search of some stuff regarding older kids and what goes on.  By the time my kids get old enough to be in their tweens and teens, I’m going to be so old I may miss some of the good stuff I’m afraid. 

No, really, the going joke here is that my kids will learn to drive by taking me back and forth to the old folks home on Sundays.  I’m not that old really but…..by the standards of my kids peers right now, yea, my husband and I….we are …yea, older.  Like the t-ball coaches wife just had a baby and they have one that is 4.  And, for that matter, the only ones on the team that have kids older than the ones on this team are quite a bit younger than we are.  And, all the parents are more in their late 20’s kind of age instead of my early 40’s kind of age. 

Anyway, that’s not what matters, that’s definitely not what I wanted to write about.  I wanted to write about tweens and teens and activities to entertain them.  Since I’ve already told you that my children aren’t really big on TV, I wonder if that interest will peak some as they get older or if they are always going to be running and playing as hard as they are right now?  Because honestly, I can barely keep up now.

Anyway, the site I mentioned in the last post, Education.com has a link to a page about camps for kids and teens.  They talk about SuperCamps and 10 day sleepaway camps.  I don’t have to tell you that with my kids at the tender age they are right now, I can’t imagine them sleeping away from home.  They both stayed at my  mom’s Saturday night and it was painful. 

Anyway, what are your thoughts?  Do you kids travel without you much?  Just curious?
