The older I get the more I enjoy doing things with the young ones. To see them experience things for the first time. Ask question after question, then say "how do you know that". If someone hasn't taken the young ones afield they just don't know what their missing.
Ken, I know you will enjoy the Grand Kids. I still remember going hunting with my Grand Father when I was just a small boy. The patience he had, with me. That's what you need to have with the young ones, patience.
I can hardly wait for my Grandkids to get here - Jun 23 - we will fish, hike, camp, enjoy the farm and woods, drive the pickup, shoot rifles and pistols and Bow. I just can't wait.
I agree Robert,sometimes even a taste can bring back fond memories- My GF escorted a group of boy scouts on a camping trip a few years ago- Boys will be boys and she started running out of makings for meals-BTW, she is an excellent campfire cook- In desperation, she made a pot of potato soup- A pretty basic farmer meal- One little boy, who had never eaten potato soup before, ate 6 bowls of it swearing it was the best thing he had ever eaten- You think, he has forgotten that trip ?? LOL
It is so much fun to experience the outdoors with young people. They seem to enjoy the little things. Good for you for taking them. They will remember the trip for a life time.
There's more. But my work laptop is Fighting the iKC software. So I'll save another one for another time.
I spent some lovely time hiking out this past week. Hoping to upload some pictures of our Dutch landscape and woods.
This is the group of boys that I was hiking with (we had 3 groups) out in the woods. I love being in the woods. Even if our woods are a little flat. No hills in sight.
Out by the edge of the woods it looks more like this:
Sometimes We'd have a little break
That's cool Tobias.
We are waiting for Miss Jan to pick a Winner of the contest, if Ya'll are wondering about the winner. She is on a trip right now and may be busy but she will get around to it. Thanks to all that participated.
Miss Jan will be at the Blade Show for the end of the Outdoor Adventure Contest, May 31. She will get someone at the Blade Show to do the drawing. Good luck everyone. If you haven't posted for the contest yet, time is running out, hurry up. The contest ends at the end of May.
Memorial Day Week End....time to hit the outdoors.
Remember, time is getting short to post an outdoor adventure, to WIN a FREE Queen Knife. Remember to, a walk in your yard or garden will qualify as an adventure. The contest ends at the end of May. Good Luck.
