Its all about the parenting. I am not sure why today's parents, who lived and enjoyed all of the above, let their kids be lazy and buy all that electronic crap for them. My kids, 8 and 6, live to run around outside. They dress up in weird stuff and run around the yard and woods playing whatever game they feel like making up at the moment. And we encourage it! We limit their TV, encourage reading and creative play. My daughter (8) just asked the other day what an XBox 360 was. LOL! We were at a friend's house recently. Their 9 year old had a Wii. My kids thought it was cool for about 10 minutes then wanted to go outside and play tag. I think its all about what the parents encourage and teach the kids to do.

Yeah, there's some 20 in/around the town that I live it, and this area is one of the best in all of Central PA, imo. My son loves to play outside but he's 3 1/2 so I'm there with him when he does. He also loves the park more than staying inside too. It really does have to do with what you do with them, the more you do certain things with them, the more they want to do them on their own as they get older.
