Foto Friday--Fathers and Their Sons

What is it about camping without mothers that is so appealing to boys?

 Quick pick-up softball games that even dads play
 Twenty-five minutes on the tire swing with no one around reminding you to share
 Sticks, sticks, sticks and no one around to warn you that someone could lose an eye
 Hanging precariously with no one thinking to spot you in case you fall
 Personally designed weaponry and no one reminding you that you put your pants on wrong
 Staying up super late and no one there telling you it's bedtime
I get it.  And I'm so glad my boys have a dad that takes them every year.

  5. My grandsons and Matt had a great time, too. And from their photos, I would agree on the sticks and the precarious climbing without a spotter theories.

  10. That took me back to when TGD and our son used to camp in the Adirondacks and the Gatineau Hills every weekend. They even winter-camped! I loved to hear my four year old grandson talk about camping this afternoon - the tradition goes on.

  11. Sadly, The Agronomist will never get this opportunity. He would have been a great 'boy' dad.
