[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We live in AU park and know all of our neighbors extremely well to the degree that we have vacationed with some.  We have block parties and bbqs and play dates.

However, most if not all of the kids are HIGHLY scheduled with sports and extracurriculars.  My kids are 5 and 7 and all of their friends (with 2 working parents or 1) are in camp all summer long (except for the weeks when they'll be out of town on vacation).  There is very little spontaneous play or just hanging out. The kids are too busy.

I makes me sort of sad. We've joined in with the camp rotation this summer because I didn't want my kids to be alone all summer long.  I wish there were more kids around during the day.[/quote]

It will get better when the kids get older (12+ so legal to stay home). We live in NW DC. It was tough during elementary school years. Now the kids get together to play, even though they are from different schools, even with the little ones. Of course, we are lucky that not all families with school age kids moved to Bethesda.
