I thought I'd show you guys a couple of pics we took on our camping trip recently. This is one of my favorites of the kids.

We left the pup with the trainer on this trip. Didn't have enough room for him, plus I didn't have time to work him. The trainers were working him while I was gone

 

I thought maybe Jonah was getting so smart that he was taking the pictures...........

Looks like y'all had a ball.

 

yeah, I wish

It was a blast. I didn't look forward to coming to work on Monday, I can tell you that much. This week has gone by super fast for me though. Looking forward to the weekend.

 

From our last trip.

 

hehe

 

Nice pictures for the family album. Looks like alot of fun.

 

Great looking kids, PLay hard with them while they are young and they will come back to play with you when you are old!!!! That was a speech given to me a long time ago when my favorite deputy chief retired and I acted on it and now both girls are away at college and I hear from them everyday so I know it works. Goodluck and God Bless,,,Rick

 

kandgo is absolutely right, I know too.
There is no reason in this world why you should not be a HAPPY man.

(just wait till you have to start paying college tuition... )

 

Before you know it the kids will be grown and gone, but they will NEVER forget the camping trips you took them on. That is part of their childhood memories.

When we die and St. Peter is checking the list to make sure we can enter the Pearly Gates, one thing is for sure. We will never regret spending too much time with kids.
