    KIDS REDISCOVERING THE OUTDOORS

    A dirt clod. Hopefully every kid has held one, and depending on the their parents, thrown one. Their is nothing like the good old days of make believing outdoors. Now video games tell kids how to think, so it’s easier to stay inside and play video games than it is to go outside and experience real life. My views on video games may seem a little harsh, but the point... A dirt clod. Hopefully every kid has held one, and depending on the their parents, thrown one.
