As you, it is my goal to work on the grandkids as well! :-)<br /><br />Hi<b> Daddy's Girl!</b>...Your parents are much like mine in that they never allowed me to watch too many cartoons! Thanks for your comment! :-)<br /><br />Hi <b>Becky!</b>... Yes, I agree, it is never too late to start. Regarding Agreement Forest... I just thought that is was Canada Wide ... interesting!

You can develop a love for the great outdoors at any age. <br /><br />Glad you explained what an Agreement Forest is cuz I don't think we have them out west here.Becky Wolfehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13328240336833495892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1767713885443036882.post-42872923827527345762007-01-12T12:54:00.000-05:002007-01-12T12:54:00.000-05:00Thanks for the comment!

I hope to turn my "dash" into an exclamation point... <br /><br />I really enjoyed your post. I didn't quite realize it back then, but now I am very grateful that my parents never let me watch Saturday morning cartoons for more than an hour and always encouraged me to go play outside :)Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01477559521261848715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1767713885443036882.post-84495201458833832322007-01-12T12:38:00.000-05:002007-01-12T12:38:00.000-05:00Such a meaningful post Dave...I never had a comput...Such a meaningful post Dave...I never had a computer till the kids were long gone so fortunately they have a good understanding, respect and love for Nature...I hope they teach it to their own children as well...if not this Grandma is going to have to find her hiking boots again LOLJanice Thomsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02506920585319893814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1767713885443036882.post-82242171714490247072007-01-12T10:03:00.000-05:002007-01-12T10:03:00.000-05:00Thanks.

I want the same for my kids as my parents wanted the same for me and their parents before them...Unfortunately, the impact of technology has certainly had an impact on the way we, as well as our kids, do things. Thanks for your comment.<br /><br /><b>Hi Jocelyn!</b>.. Pleased to meet you. Stay outdoors and enjoy outdoors! Your kids will love it, I am sure. :-)<br /><br /><b>Hi D.D.!</b>... Nice to meet you! Some of our best memories were while camping as well. Thanks for your comment!<br /><br /><b>Hi Marie!</b>...You have a good point there... We can only introduce our children to the great outdoors but the decision to remain there is up to them, Take care!<br /><br /><b>Hi LGS!</b>...Sorry for that oversight. Sometimes I forget that I am writing to people all around the world. Agreement forests are a result of the reforestation of wastelands carried out by various groups working together for the same cause. I hope that helps. If you are interested, I could provide further info. Take Care!<br /><br /><b>Lee</b>...
