But needless, I'm sure kids would still love the lifestyle, even if they didn't get to use the amenities as much.

I wonder if I ever ran into you at Mr. Soft Drink. I was a Bonaventure kid. Haha. We got both lakes out of the deal. But as for your post about riding bikes all day, we did the same. Summer schedule was something like meeting at one of the guys' houses on bikes around 9-10, and then f-ing off until 2? Going to another guy's house and raiding the pizza pops, back on the bikes until dusk, and then eating whatever leftovers mom saved you.
I survived. Didn't get mugged, kidnapped, or murdered. That said, if my daughter wants to do the same, she's going to have a cell phone with GPS in it lol.
