I am so happy that so many FReepers are able to appreciate all the great things that these kids are learning from their family. There is a lot of REAL science education going on here, a lot of self reliance, a lot of understanding of the excitement of life and appreciation of the natural world that God gave us to explore.
I’m also happy to see so many are able to appreciate that some children will get around even vigilant parent’s guards, and do things because they are adventurous, and intelligently curious.
It is my unswerving opinion that those who stifle this type of curiosity by overly tight oversight of their children do the world a great disservice.
My only hope is that the older brother was not in on the joke, and honestly thought his brother was up in the balloon. I don’t blame the 6yo for hiding as well as he could for as long as he could stand it!
Totally agree
