You did a great job of keeping it fun for your son (swimming, Dairy Queen) and not burning him out on hunting all day, every day. You'll both remember that trip forever. I bet he is already bugging you about going again next year. Congrats!
Serious memories for both of you from this trip. I had a few similar ones with my dad that are still vivid and alive with me, and am excited to do the same with my kids when they’re a little older. Inspirational stuff Southern Elk. Thank you for posting!
what a great story. thank you for sharing and congratulations. Ten years from now, I'd love to hear your son tell his version of this story. I bet he'd have a smile on his face!
