i agree with both of you and i know that op (who happens to be my sister) does, too.

my sister (op) and i were raised by hippies in the 70s and 80s, so we needed and expected nothing more than a pail and a shovel and a kite (our dad was really into flying kites). for better or for worse, i pretty much raise my kid the same way. we've done disney world and he and his father have gone to great adventure, but when we're at the beach all we're doing is swimming in the ocean, playing soccer, listening to music and climbing trees. we don't need any of the bells and whistles.

i seriously try to wrap my head around WHY people feel they need an AI in JA, especially when there are kids involved. throw 'em on the beach and let them chill!
