Cell Phones and Wifi Services
     The mountains are not real cell phone or wifi friendly. But that can be a really good thing.
     Your kids will hate the fact they cannot recharge their phones. So use this time to educate them.
     After a family hike, a dip in the lake, a fishing adventure, a horseback ride or another fun event, have them express what they got from the experience.
     Take a box of crayons, a few pencils and a large blank pad for the kids. Then have them draw a picture and/or write an explanation of the adventure that they can share with other family members and friends not along on the vacation.
     Thus, they have an educational experience with art and writing that end up being a form of story telling.
     Who knows. Perhaps a budding graphic artist, journalist or designer will be born!
