One of the beauties of living in the country with no neighbors (except for their aunts/uncles :)But what I wouldn't give for my grocery store right on the corner. Things are building up towards us and we just had a shopping center w/grocery store built 10 minutes from us.

I am the same way. In our house, the rule is, no one is allowed outside by themselves (except for my oldest who is almost 16). We haven't done an outside school day yet this year.

He loves it. It's getting hot in Texas though. We're either going to have to start doing school way earlier, or relocate inside soon.
