Nothing like taking your son or daughter fishing. It is a great way to bond, get to know your child, and just get some good quality time in with them and teach them the finer things in life. Nothing like seeing your own children experience these wonderful moments. Check out Chris Cobbett and his son out on the water this past week.

Enjoy!!

Some people have asked me if I spend time reading other people’s blogs and, if so, which ones. And the answer is “well of course I do!” I will list on the top 5 blogs I read probably daily. There are probably well over 30 blogs I read weekly or twice a week. I hardly ever comment on blogs I read which I need to spend more time doing, but the ones I spend time reading each day are:
1) A Family Runs Through It – Family Phil is a Stay at Home Dad and home schooler out of Idaho.

As a dad of 5 kids and one who loves the outdoors I spend my time when online reading through both parenting type blogs and outdoor type blogs. One of the blogs I read is a new one based out of Arizona called Bow Hunting Maniac.

His father turned 80 and it was time to go back to where they spent some time in the past.
Well I won’t spoil it. Go read this …read more

Things seem to be back to normal around these parts. After having the new baby the older kids had vacation week and mommy was off to work gradually. It was cold too, and snowy… and I had some fun but it was difficult for me to blog, and concentrate on my online projects.
It was much needed time off for me though. I do feel a little better now that the kids are back to school today and I can jump into my normal routine. Granted I love to spend time with all my kids… and look forward to summer …read more

Mike will no longer be …read more

Check out my new tent I got this past summer. The thing is enormous. I can stand up in the center no problem. Camping and going fishing with the kids will be something I will miss this winter. But, now we will move on to sledding and making snowmen. I would like to get out more and do some ice hockey. I know they will like it. We have a public ice hockey rink not too far from here.
Here are some pictures of the kids from last winter. My personal favorite is Elizabeth taking the sled and sliding down the …read more
