Daddy/Daughter Time

Our oldest daughter has been wanting to learn how to start a fire and how to use a pocket knife. And Daddy has been looking for an opportunity for a little one on one time with his kids. (a truly rare gift with 4 kids).

Sooooooooo an overnight camping trip was planned to make both wishes come true.

The look of excitement when he told her his plan was priceless. And I loved watching her pack her stuff for their night away.

There is a state park not far from our house which made this very doable…. I foresee a few more Dad/Child overnights this summer as the other 3 are eager for their chance to have Dad to themselves. They left our house around 6pm, got to the campground, set up camp and had a wonderful evening together… then woke up, made another fire, took a little walk and were back home in time for dad to go into work and still get in several hours of work. I greatly enjoyed listening to them tell all about their adventure and looking at their pictures.
