My daughter's first hike and some Robert Service

[03RN]

Well, that she actually walked. She's been on countless hikes riding in a pack. At 2 this 3 miles was her first hike. She never even asked to ride on my shoulders which I was prepared to do. My 4yo son was running and jumping and is now better in the woods then 90% of adults.







@Lost River has set the bar on outdoor daughter pics but I'm trying

These are AWESOME pics Brother!

And no bars are really set. You have your beautiful family outdoors and doing stuff. That is the key thing. They likely will not realize or appreciate it until they have kids of their own. But when they do, they will realize how important it was and appreciate the pictures that you have taken, and maybe put in a scrapbook, journal, whatever.

A few days back it was my middle kiddo's birthday. The weather out was cruddy and they would have gotten cold and discouraged quickly. So instead I took the 3 girls including my oldest daughter (who is 20) and her childhood friend and we went bowling. They/we all had a great time. A month or so ago I took the youngest bowling, and she was totally loving it in spite of not so great scores. My scores were terrible too, as I had not bowled in more than 20 years. It does not really matter what it is. Feed ducks at the local pond, go bowling, hiking, whatever.

Just be active with them.

I know you are too based on your posts. That tends to be a pretty difficult thing too, being a working parent.

So, GOOD JOB!

That's the happiest you've ever looked in a photo. That says something. My three kids are now from 30 to 40. Some of their fondest childhood memories are from times in the wilderness.

Thanks man



Raising kids is sometimes out of my league. It's weird being this compassionate caring guy. I love it but it's weird.
