I'm an Apple Girl

Adventure Mommy is a true Apple girl.  Our first home computer (back in 1982) was and Apple IIe - and I thought that was the be all and end all!  We could play Frogger until our hearts content - although, the froggy was green and so was everything else on the screen! LOL!  Things have certainly come along way since those days.

Now I have a MacBook Pro and and iPad - love love love it!  And so do my kids. In fact, we have only had the iPad for 2 days and I have been the mediator to about 20 fights over it already.  Oh brother.  And his older sister. Ha! Ha!

What I've been watching though is how fast kids pick up technology.  It's like lightning speed.  They take their tech toys around with them and come back with a surplus of knowledge.  Although, I've been wondering about that.  The kids don't really know that they know, if you know what I mean.  It almost becomes second nature to them.  Awesome.  And scary at the same time.  This is how kids communicate now.  It's all wi-fi, texting and calling.  This is why I'm so thankful that we are at the trailer for the summer and the kids are out on their bikes, playing basketball, just hanging out at the beach - sans gadgets.  There's enough time for all that business once September comes.

Our daughter's birthday cake - she turned 10 last week - was the ultimate tech toy cake - a giant iPod (thanks to Every OcCAKEsion for this absolutely spectacular cake).  The kids all went crazy over it - and thank goodness they didn't try to turn it on!
