We realized there were no wildlife shows for kids. So we got a video camera and we went down to Costa Rica with our tent and our backpacks and our surfboards. We camped out for three months, getting footage. Then we brought the videos into schools to show kids. They had their criticisms, too.
Kids are great critics.
Our parents brought us up to Vermont every summer where they had a piece of land. And we ended up camping out in Vermont all summer and going on hikes with our dog and creature adventures with the whole family. I also went to a preschool that was full of animals. Our classroom had ducks and guinea pigs and mice. And the great thing was you were able to take home, and take care of, an animal each weekend.
