The boys and I did a little exploring in the woods on our property this evening. We put out some food for the deer and identified some trees and animal tracks.

Sounds like a wonderful afternoon John! That was me and my boys at their age. They would rather be in the woods, catching stuff in creeks or fishing than gaming or watching tv!

No surprise there Kevin! Ive seen the pics of you guys fishing. Great stuff. My guys are the same way. My 9 year old spends a little time making his YouTube videos on the computer, but other than that, we're very limiting on screen time.
