The mom grewup in the city as well... And does appreciate the variety of experiences I offer her daughter when they visit, even when it pushes her own comfort zone...

I know I never see packs of young children roaming around outside anymore. I grew up mainly in the '60s and I spent a tremendous amount of time outdoors. Even though we lived in surburbia, there were patches of woods scattered around and I knew them all in detail.
I think a lot of it is the over-scheduling of kids with classes and activities. I kind of doubt it's a good thing, overall.

Nice that the mother appreciates it, sounds like she likes the outdoors too.
