Every evening when we walk the dog we wander off the tracks and get lost in the God's green fields. It's either that or the xbox after dinner...<br />They always resist going, but after we get back you can tel they enjoyed it by the stories they tell their Mom.... It is just much harder in the winters since it gets dark by 4:30...<br />May be once the days get longer I'll let them bring their Daisy guns...<br />Thanks for the inspiring story of heart, and spirit...James Butlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03361390025161676350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7507051756134115711.post-34301441466022132782013-11-11T14:51:17.750-05:002013-11-11T14:51:17.750-05:00The era of freedom.
