This week I had the pleasure of hanging out with a special group of preschoolers and their moms at Ada Township Park. As part of their Discovery Days program, the park held a workshop for area three to five year olds. The class began with a hands-on nature inspired craft and then kids hit the trails to hear, see and smell the signs of spring.
As a kid I remember those times where you’d head outside in the morning and fill an entire day with exploring your backyard or playing at the local park. Today I feel like so many kids would rather stay inside and watch television or play video games. What ever happened to good old fashion outdoor fun?
