What a cool birthday party! I loved my childhood and all that freedom. My husband reminisces about how he went out into the woods with his friends and his parents had no idea where he was all day. All the neighborhood kids played together outside and in the summer we had nightly kickball games after dinner. They were simpler times and I'm doing everything I can to make these possibilities a reality for my own kids, but it's a different world. Love to see that your child is getting to experience some of this!
Yes I agree — it’s important to try to give our children the good aspects of our childhood while understanding that it is a different time. I think going slowly helps, and being super thoughtful when to introduce things to our kids (whether that be devices, or more independence) is key.
This is awwwwwesome! (and maybe even RADICAL!) on so many levels. I hope I get to see the short film at some point.
I think we all go through phases of nostalgia for a past we might never have experienced. In the 90s I was listening to The Beach Boys and Herman's Hermits and, along with Brian Wilson, lamenting that "I Just Wasn't Made For These Times." I do remember listening to a little Right Said Fred, though. And Super Mario Bros and Excite Bike at my friend Jonathan's (he had ALLLL the games!) was definitely a regular pastime.

Oh I loved Excite Bike!
