Father's Day 2005 has been great

My older son called yesterday to see whether I would be available for a little outing. It turns out that when he was growing up his mother would take our two boys to a place called Moose Creek Campground about 10 miles west of town. She would have a blanket and a book while the boys were free to investigate, catch frogs, play in the small stream and generally enjoy the outdoors in Montana. Now our son, the FATHER of two boys himself, is looking for places where his own sons can roam.

He picked me up at 8am this morning so we could go to early worship service (father's day is on a Sunday this year!) and we headed out to investigate some places up towards the mountains East of Seattle.

It may take some more investigations but in the mean time it is very heart-warming to have a loving son who takes both his father and son responsibilities seriously.

Catching frogs paid off. His major endeavor these days is organizing National Science Decathlon so other youngsters can also have fun with science. The first ever national competition was earlier this year and organizational/fund raising efforts are gaining momentum.
