Living in the countryside gives the kids the freedom to enjoy the perks of playing outside, doing physical activities, and having a connection with nature. These are the things I've noticed recently while walking around our community. I have been seeing kids playing outside, running in the fields, flying kites in an open area, and also fishing in the river.
The kids are sometimes not after catching the biggest fish in the river, but the perfect experience and moments with their friends that they will cherish growing up. It is all about the feeling of thrill and the laughter shared with everyone.
I went to the river with my two nephews after hearing them talk about meeting their friends there. They prepared their fishing rods and grabbed some worms as their bait. I told them I'd go with them to see how they'd do fishing with their friends. We arrived at the river, and the kids were already there, enjoying the moment.
I sat down in the corner, embracing the surroundings. As I looked around, seeing the kids fishing made me feel nostalgic about my childhood. I also felt happy that they are enjoying their childhood in this beautiful place we have, having a deep connection with nature.
They were excited when their fishing rod moved. They shared laughter with everyone when someone joked about catching a fish but actually getting none. Indeed, seeing special moments of the kids like this truly warms my heart.
My nephews already joined the group, and I heard them laugh and talk with everyone. Watching them in such an experience is priceless. It feels like witnessing a fantastic childhood journey of theirs, one that's free from screens and the internet, filled with pure fun and a closer connection to nature.
Someone shouted, "I caught a fish." Everyone turned their eyes to this kid, and so did I. Yes, he caught a fish, and they were all so happy about it that they celebrated with him. That's the spirit of being happy with someone's achievement, whether it's big or small.

While the kids are enjoying a day of fishing, I sat down for a while and just embraced the slow morning outdoors. The fresh air, the lush greenery, and the gentle sound of the flowing river made the moment so perfect. Whenever you have the chance to go outdoors and experience something like this, don't hesitate to do so and enjoy it.
