<p>Many times I have been heard to say, we do this for the next generation. This past week I was blessed enough to have our 9 yr old grandson for a whirlwind week of epic knifing.</p>
<p>First stop for Dakota was Blade Show. Last time he was here he was in a stroller and asleep. This time he was a little more active.</p>

<p>A few days at home and it is off again!</p>
<p>Next stop? The knife shop with the big blue roof! </p>

<p>But he is a trooper. At 730am he was right back outside SMKW waiting for the doors to open and getting a few early bird presents.<a href="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/2655316038?profile=original" target="_self"><img src="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/2655316038?profile=original" width="480" class="align-full"/></a></p>
<p>Before too long I hear “hey there is my new friend Mr. Tony” <a href="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/2655316395?profile=original" target="_self"><img src="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/2655316395?profile=original" width="640" class="align-full"/></a></p>
<p>And sure enough Tony Bose had arrived! Bringing with him a young lady that had not experienced SMKW before either! Ms. Hanna, Tony’s grand daughter and a true joy to spend some time with. She was even kind enough to let my heavy basket spend a few moments in here chair. It was so much fun to have 2 sets of eyes that had never been there before.</p>
<p>At the end of the day we stopped to do a little fishing</p>

<p>The last hour home was much the same as the return from Blade Show. One very asleep young man in the backseat with a large smile on his face. The first week with Nana and Papa comes to an end. The new adventure is starting with a holler as he ran up the stairs this morning yelling “papa says I can have the old forge and use his old anvil too!”</p>
<p>Well I guess that is one way for a 9 yr old to begin week 2 in the mountains</p> Look what a nine year old girl can do with a big knife!tag:iknifecollector.com,2016-10-08:3181080:Topic:14458492016-10-08T00:40:52.923ZJan Carterhttps://iknifecollector.com/profile/JanCarter
