Is it just me...?

Q1) - Is it just me or are holidays more complicated than they used to be? I took Junior Monger 1 to the new climbing centre in town - brilliant! Act like Junior Spiderman, fall off, no damage. In fact he seems to quite enjoy dangling from a rope 50 feet up. So far so good - but the climbing centre also has a skatepark / BMX park, rollerblade death zone...
Q2) - Is it just me or do kids get it easy these days? - full on park, on doorstep, cheeez - we used spend hours on buses and trains getting to a half decent place. Hmmm!
Back to number Q1:-
Q1) - Is it just me or are holidays more complicated than they used to be?
- Kid sees BMX'ers - Dad I want to do that. You'll need some skills first son - that ain't no walk in the park. Next thing Brittle Old Monger is in the forest, hurtling down the "MTB Fun Park Trail", stuck on the kids tail like a Tie Fighter in Star Wars.
Q2) - Is it just me or do kids get it easy these days? - Didn't we have to build our own bike trails when we were kids and here's heaven laid out on a plate by the Forestry Commission!
First run over, the kid actually can't speak as the grin is stretched too tight over his face and, well... I'm just living up to my name! Second run, small air. Third run - Whoooaa BIG AIR!!! - Jmong does what I believe is called a "super man", unintentionally, and actually lands it. Grins again. Another run, Ice Creams and it's all over.
Back to number Q1:-
Q1) - Is it just me or are holidays more complicated than they used to be?
- Wait a minute I took him climbing to waste a holiday morning - now I'm flying through the air.
Whatever!
