A weekend none of us will ever forget.....he can't wait to do it again!
That "SMILE" says it all !! Excellent !!
Thats awesome. I'm looking forward to days like that soon. My oldest is 5 1/2 now how old is your son? Skippy
Great pictures, thanks.
Love the pic with the missing tooth and the mud bug. You are the bestest dad!
Very cool.
GREAT PICS, CURT!!!! Beautiful River.....
Thanks for sharing. That's awesome. I see Cade shoots from the wrong side of the bow just like his pops ;) Bet you had more fun watching him enjoy himself with that experience. Inspires me to do the same with my 5yr old.
BTW, I have a new KS to be delivered anyday from Jack. It has a little mesquite in the riser and some "wild" as Jack said, looking zebra lams. I'll post when it arrives.
Very cool.....
Looks like you guys had the time of your lives! Way to go, great pics, thanks for sharing!
Now that's what life is all about - AWESOME! Can't wait to do that with my little Bud!
Regards...Ken

Great pics Curt. Enjoy those kids while you can. In no time at all they'll be grown. Don
You two are on the right track together, your time invested now will pay off big time in the future.
Yowza!
Cade caught the yummy stuff, Curt, he is the one to bring on a camping trip! That catfish looked plumb perfect for two, and river lobsters on the side is the cherry on the sundae. That son of yours is tops!
Killdeer :thumbsup:
That's awesome Curt, a great way to spend a weekend......Cade has a great role model to follow and is learning well. Hunter's going to love to read this one.........
Love the pic of the two of you walking together in the river, and of Cade at the fire....
David
You're doing it right...buddy for life! Doc
That's what it's all about there Curt!
I've had my kids camping with us since they were babies.. Just sent my oldest to College this past weekend.
All I can say is remember these times.. They'll be something to hold onto when the kids leave the house..
Awesome!The great outdoors have more meaning to me since I have been taking my daughters and son on my trips with me. Even the short bird hunts, or tree stand ventures are more enjoyable with them. Great job Curt, and look forward to more.
Dave
BRAVO!!!! Looks just like you described it, a weekend neither of you will forget soon! Great pictures as well.
Mike
Curt,
you are doing good.....real good!
That's the way to enjoy your children and life in general. Way to go Dad.
Those pictures were great! Thanks for shareing with us. You made some first class memories for both you and your son. Good job Dad!
Those are great pics, enjoy it, they grow up SO fast. I look back at pics like those with my boys, my oldest is now 16, and my youngest approaching 10. I truly have a family of bowhunters now, but still shake my head at how fast they grow.
I remember my oldest boy, when he was jsut 4 or 5 tagging along on my hunts with me, wondering if the sound he heard was a grizzly bear ( in Michigan LOL)
Huntin,fishin, campin, or just stompin in the woods are activities kids will always recount as they grow older. Watching them learn, then as they get older, watching them put into practice all of those little lessons makes ya feel good inside.
Wait till you share in the success of his first hunt..... will make ya feel good inside.
Way to go !! Neat pictures.
Enjoy...
Curt- well done. I have three sons and we had a lot of days like those and they remember every one of them. So does Dad. You'll never do anything greater- it's a lot easier to raise a child than to fix an adult, doncha think? :thumbsup: Grant
Curt,
Awesome story and pics as always ! It won't be long and little mae mae will be taggin along too !
nocams :campfire:
Thanx everyone...it truly was an awesome weekend for us...we're both still very excited about Cade's first night in a tent. He lasted only 11 minutes last year in the backyard!
Killy, That's exactly what we did yesterday...scrumptious!!!! :help: :goldtooth:
Good times!
Great photos, Curt...Looks like you boys had a large time...Time in the outdoors with the little ones, it doesn't get any better than that!!! Thanks for sharing...
David
