The children so enjoy getting outdoors to play! 
  It is indeed very rewarding and just like our mothers always told us, it is good for us.  Research

 is revealing many important benefits to outside

play.  Author Richard Louv(2006), explains in his

book  "Last child in the woods Saving Our Children

from Nature-Deficit Disorder", that “stress reduction,

greater physical health, a deeper sense of spirit,

more creativity, a sense of play, even a safer

life—are the rewards that await children when they

have more nature in their lives.”
