That picture could have been taken in 1972.  

The kids throwing a stick.  Isn't there an app for that now?

Those parents are doing it right, so the kid is interested in living IRL instead of via an "app". Kudos to them. :)

I know you were being sarcastic... :)

In reply to secretariata :

Once I took my wife, daughter, and niece on a long treasure hunt and at one stop near the Kankakee river on a bluff I arranged a stick throwing distance contest into the river.  

These people were amazed at how much fun it was until my 26 year old niece accidentally flung her prescription sunglasses into the river.  Then they were mad at me for coming up with a stupid stick throwing contest.  

They started this at 23?  How do they have the money to do this?  Family money or some nonsense?

Love that they're using a Travelall and love it even more that some dimwit hasn't shoved a SBC in there instead.

I had that same Airstream, although mine was rescued from rotting in a field, and not really enough left of it to restore, so it got fixed enough to be used. Looked rough at its best, but still got attention, being a 67. Several years earlier I had a 72 Travellall about that color. Wish I had a early one like that!

I have a picture of my grandparents camping with their best friends in the late 60's  Same Travelall as that and a longer Airstream. and an earlier picture of the Hove's in their older International and a Bambi Airstream.

My travelall had the "big" 392 in it... I would NEVER have changed it out for a SBC. Anyone that does has never towed with an International!

Kids are probably being prosecuted by the safety police. Don't they know "you could put an eye out". Every year when I was a kid our family would pack up and go camping for a couple weeks in a tent usually by a lake. Great memories. When we got married we did the same with our kids a little more comfortable in a small motorhome. Kids are grown with their own families now but still talk about the places they have been. Wife and I still go in a larger motorhome between 60 to 90 days a year. 

My family has logged over a month camping in our 72 Airstream in 2020. Despite the crazy, we had a good year.

Those kids will get to school and already know how to socialize.  None of the other kids will though so it'll be a moot point.

dang...wish I'd never thought of that 

A quick survey of the job landscape tells us that the kids are going to have to know how to use those app boxes pretty well. If they don't a chorus of people will be shouting, "you should have studied STEM!" At them.
