It is an active choice that we make. I honestly do not know where wewould find the time to watch television. Without a black box to constantly entertain them, my children have learnedto entertain themselves. They both have very active imaginations and oftendress up for role-playing games or treat us to a puppet show which they havecreated. They also spend an enourmous amount of time playing outdoors.
Weather is never an issue unless someone is showing signs of weakness like astuffy nose or cough.
Rain, no problem, that's why slickers wereinvented. Cold doesn't stop useither, we just bundle up in hats and gloves and warm coats. We have a bigyard with gardens, swings, a sandbox, a picnic table, and over 30 wonderfultrees for climbing or playing make-believe. Our trees become ships orcastles, or office buildings, or monsters. The possibilities are endless.
