At this point, I think a better lesson is ‘respect nature’. The kids will agree, be much happier, and there will be something to gain from it when they become adults.
Last year my family went on a short vacation to Michigan. I rented rooms online from this hotel on a lake. There was a porch all around the place that let you go from your room and right into the lake. It was quaint, but older. Anyway my son’s wife took one look at it and refused to even get out the car. We ended up staying in some Best Western off of I-75 that had a pool.
Let me say that the ONLY reason I didn’t refuse to move was because the rooms did smell of tobacco and my wife, after 40 years of smoking, has quit. The smell of old smoke makes her sick now. Thank goodness.

I just hope that when they come out, it’s Adam who’s covered with leeches and “creepy crawlies”!!

Lots of crawlies, like mushy spiders slowly climbing up your legs

When I was a kid, we swam with the dead alewives at Oak Street Beach in Chicago.

The trick is to do it more often than once a year, Adam. And start earlier in their lives.

Loved vacationing in northern Wisconsin, at a much younger age, swimming in the nearby creek and walking through the marshes.

Yes, there are crawlies, and they’re creepy as well…

Dig down a bit and you’ll find a body!
Okay! Just the hip bones and sneakers!

Crawlies are the worst. Everything else just bites and hangs on. The crawlies move around and get into places. …shudder.

Back in the day, you frequented these swimming holes, because there were no swimming pools around at the time.

Way too many crawlies to count, Katie.
