Very Little Fishing

My son and I haven't been able to do much fishing lately. Between his baseball schedule and my work schedule, fishing trips have been a little scarce. We were able to do a little fishing while we were camping at Spring Creek. We had a great time getting connected with nature once again. We tried a little "experiment" with my daughter and camping in the back yard. I learned that she isn't ready to do any camping any time soon. It was alright until bed time came and she wanted to go inside. She will take a little working on to get her sold on the wonder of the great outdoors. Air conditioning has a strong hold on her and a little fear of the dark is still in play as well.

We will keep fishing, hunting, hiking and loving the outdoors every chance we get!!!!

Working Hard on a Snowman

What a girl!

Deer Hunting Season

Deer hunting season is about over, but I am looking forward to warmer weather and doing a little fishing.

Hunting

My son and I have been able to do a little hunting. We haven't had much luck, but we have enjoyed getting outdoors and enjoying God's creation. It always helps us to realize God's creation helps us to remember our status in relation to him. God expresses his love for us in so many ways and everything in his creation points us to him. I am very blessed to have a little boy that continually reminds me of the simple faith required to please God. I wish I could have more of the faith he expresses.

Dry Spell

Unfortunately, I haven't had the opportunity to do any outdoor events. I have been dove hunting a few times, but not for long and unfortunately that is about it. My son and I are having withdrawl symptoms and hope to get outside soon. We have a tadpole pool in our backyard and that is about it. It is a sad replacement for real outdoor adventures, but you have to take what you can get.

Spending Time Outdoors

Whether it is fishing, catching tadpoles with your son, or just sitting and watching a sunset, there is something special about spending time outdoors. The cares of every day life seem much less important when you take time to relax and remember what is truly important in life. I watch my son and how he enjoys just simple things that I many times don't notice. Little things in life are many times the most important things we do and the great outdoors has a way of allowing a person to enjoy things that otherwise would go unnoticed.
