I agree!

My two girls are 4 and 7 years old and one of their favorite things is
going to the R/C field with Dad.  I don't do anything elaborate - just
take some camp chairs and keep them well fed.  I get my flying fix
in, the girls and I have a great time, and my wife (also stay a home)
gets a break.  Both girls know that they need to be behind the pits
unless they are "stuck to me like a magnet", but they love getting
outside and romping around in the club's 50 hay field. When you're < 4
ft tall, hide and seek in 50 ac. of 3 ft tall hay can really be a
challenge!
