Sometimes I forget how the simpler things in life give the greater reward. This weeks been nice and a good time to reflect. Connor is getting that age where he's contemplating how the world works and his place in it. Trent has a friend staying overnight, Mateo, who lives in a apartment complex in Ohio and doesn't have a back yard or a dad. Today was a blast as he and Trent spent the day in the creek in the back with their shovels and rain boots getting soaked from head to foot. Later we made a camp fire and roasted some marshmallows. It's awesome to see the look on his face just from being in the woods and doing what boys do, get dirty, wet and run around like nutty dingoes chasing a plumb rabbit. Tomorrow we'll send him down on our neighbors zip line. No waivers needed. We just burying the bodies that don't make it. Kidding. Enjoy this week folks. When life kicks you in the pants, aim for a nice pasture.
