Kids these days!

Some time ago, a blog that the editors of chickenmonkeydog visit on a regular basis (check out our Delicious account for details) posted a photo of a fantastic children’s park in Japan. The blogger lamented that children’s parks in North America paled in comparison with what Japanese kids enjoyed.

I had a very similar thought when the local primary school had a visit from a real helicopter as part of its focus on transportation as an education theme for the year.

Helicopter in a field

How cool is that! When I was growing up in America, we were lucky to get a visit from the local fire brigade. Here in England, the children get visits from helicopters. Kids these days! They don’t know how good they have it! Ha-ha!

When I worked in the school system in Illinois, I organized a “career day” at the middle school — we got Flight For Life to come — the helicopter landed on the playground there! It was so cool!

@ Meaghan -

Hmmm … maybe life has moved on since I was a child.
