Great article. I miss the days when my kids were 5. Like you, I had rules on gain and distance. But now that they are 18 and 28, I get to go a little farther afield ;-)
thanks for the article, Michael. I can only hope to share the same kind of enjoyment with my kids someday. All the best to you and your's...Pete
Absolutely, I'm sure you will. Looks like you have a similar history to my own: PNW->Alps!
Great article, it gave me some good ideas to entertain my children. Thanks
Hi Michael, You have some strong looking boys! Can't wait to see the trip reports of the "Stanton-Buam" in ...12..15 years! I can't wait that my daughter can hike... now she makes the first level: scrambling on the couch... Ciao! Sebastian
Thanks Sebastian! I'd say she is solidly in grade II terrain... :)
i don't have any kids, but i really enjoyed reading this article. Have fun and take care.
I was scared to death of having kids at your age...but eventually it was the right time, so just remember it as a signpost! Thanks for the comment!
