Thanks Mike, you reminded me that I need to install the comment editing plugin. I’d say if your girls are taking your grandkids camping and hiking, then you must have done something right! I look forward to the day when I can take my grandkids camping.

“camping hiking” should be “camping and hiking.”

We took our kids hiking right from the beginning. We even went backpacking with them when the youngest was 3 years old. Each of the girls had their own little backpack -- for their Raggedy Ann dolls that my wife had made and a little bit of snacks. When they got into their teens, our oldest was always wanting to go camping hiking when we were on vacation, while the youngest preferred to stay in hotels and go shopping. Today, the daughter who preferred hotels and shopping has introduced her kids to the fun of hiking and camping. The older daughter and her hubby also hike and camp, when they can.

Mike, we do the same thing – we’re always checking something out. Yesterday we found some huge buckeye seed pods (size of small oranges), some big sugar pine cones, and a weird rock formation that was stratified vertically. I figure that as long as they’re having fun, I’ll sit there and watch them play with with pine cones!
