I got an email today from Little Pink Houses of Hope. It's an organization that does family retreats all over the country for stage 4 breast cancer. We're going to Sedona, AZ for a week in June!!! I'm so excited! And I'm sure all my other Ulmers will be so happy about it.I'm curious to know how you people, my friends, handle teens cell phones on family vacations. We have our EPIC trip in July, and now this one. I'd like to say "no phones" for both trips, so we actually see their faces occasionally, and not just the tops of their heads. I tend to feel a little selfish on this subject. I want to make the most of the time we have together, because our time is finite. I don't want there to be tension when "I" suggest they throw the phones out the window and participate with the family. Know what I mean? Input please!
p.s. I'll keep FB, but only because people said that's the easiest way to know what's happening with us! 😎

Kim, in January 2017, we started an electronic free day at our house. It goes from 8 am - 8 pm and includes the TV. We have had so much fun playing games, cards, doing puzzles, baking, talking, jumping on the tramp. It really makes a difference. We also took two vacations on cruises where they don't get WiFi and they were so great! I say have the phones off for certain periods, not take them away completely! You will likely get better buy in and it is a compromise! AZ is so pretty...might be really hot in June though!
