Joe and i went out over the weekend did a little snowshoeing and shooting. This was Joe's first time out on the shoes he did good only fell once, we took a three hour walk i was ready for a nap when we got back it never phased him a bit.  
 
 

Days like that are worth more than anything. I soak up each adventure that my family and I go on no matter how large or small it is. Good for you and your son!  

Great Pictures Jim!...The last one in the pines is cool...Thanks So Much...

Man thats great. My father never took me hunting or anything when I was little, I've had to learn it all on my own. I'd trade it all to be in that kids shoes. Cool pictures. Looks like loads of fun. Justin

Same here coldsteel. I guess thats why I'm so obsessed with teaching any kid or adult that I can.

Man Stone you guys are lovin life.I know you met my Noah at Shawns, hes my constant companion in the outdoors and theres nothing Ive done in my life more rewarding than spending time outdoors with him.Now I cant wait for baby brother Zane to get out with us, hes 17mos now.I can tell you guys are very close,enjoy your time together and I wish you guys countless more outings and adventures.

LUCKY KID

Israel,
I did meet Noah at the bunny hunt he's a great kid, I'm glad you brought him with you and hope to see both of you at next years hunt  or at some other event in the future. I like to spend time with my kids when ever i can and when it's in the outdoors that is a plus. I remember when Joe was a baby i would take him in a wagon that had big pneumatic tires and pull him with me through the woods on scouting trips while his sister walked along. Start them early and often because they will be on there own at a blink of an eye.

Very cool Jim and Joe        

What a great day that must have been!  Thanks for sharing a little of it with us.

Very Cool pictures Jim!!!!! BTW.....I would like to thank you for not bringing Joe's snowshoes to the Bunny Hunt.....He would have been leaving all of us far behind LOL!!!!!

You're making memories.        

Yes, sir.. trophy's of the heart! Very Cool!              

Jim, I can't agree more with Ron & Steve. Watching you & Joe, & Israel & Noah from a distance at Shawn's brought back many happy memories of myself & Greg many years ago. BTW the memories are still building for us . . it doesn't end. What a pleasure to see it happening with you!!!! Enjoy & cherish every minute. They really fly by!!

Those are some fine young men you're building there!
