Kids are going to be kids, today(and when your kids were young) that means video games and anything outside of being outside.

You can't change them on that. I'd ask Liam if he'd want to fish upcoming weekend - he'd be all YES! Then his enthusiasm waned as the day approached, and he'd play video games instead. Tore my heart out.

We did get out some times but it was a tenth of what I hoped for
