There have been several studies done in recent years about the declining number of kids that enjoy time outside. National and state parks are experiencing declining visit numbers, and kids are more connected to wired entertainment than free outdoor stuff.
Try to buck the trend. Go camping - if you don't have the equipment, many state parks have low-cost cabins that are partly or fully equipped. Take your kids to a zoo or nature center. Make them play outside - and play out there with them as an example. Help turn around the trend of kids who don't even realize that there is all that nature out there.
