Julie, thanks, I’ll get to that soon.

Sorry you didn't all get a chance to go on the scheduled hike, but it sounds like the safety message will probably get through. I'm sure everything, particularly the errors, are opportunities for teaching and learning. “Deer Fighters” sounds like a challenging game!

My little girl loves collecting stuffs she finds on the beach, what more if we live on a place like you do! As for the harsh comment you received, I think that person is just plain sarcastic and too jealous of your family. He deserves the delete button no less!

I love the shed-and I love deer meat. It is so healthy and tasty too. What treasure you can find on a walk through the woods. I love the shed-and I love deer meat. It is so healthy and tasty too.

Very cool! ( : Love seing pictures of your place and your family - they are precious! I am glad you liked my book recommendation - don't feel bad about not always getting to those activities - I don't either - this book is so thorough in instructions that you can hand it to them and let them do it on their own for most of the activities - and if they fail then they learned how not to do it and can try again right?!

Egg shells, abandoned turtle shells and such. They get a place of honor in our house. As for the commentor... When and if there comes a time, those people will be depending on us country folk to feed and take care of them! The kids get so excited when they find something out of the ordinary.
