Tue, 08 May 2007 11:14:38 +0000 http://blog.parentbloggers.com/?p=72#comment-107 My 3 sisters and I were big tomboys growing up. Dad wanted boys so badly and ended up with 4 girls. We loved to get muddy. We helped Dad fix cars and build things. We caught frogs and bugs and crawdads. We fished and learned how to call turkeys with Dad's calls. We played cowboys (Jesse James) and helped on our small farm. I miss those days! I have 2 boys myself now and my 9 year-old would LOVE this book! My 3 sisters and I were big tomboys growing up.

Three boys under three.. now if someone can invent a tent with an alarm so that if my boys wake up before me and decide to venture out, I can be warned! This sounds like the book for us!

He and I spent hours creating our own games, trapsing through neighborhood yards and exploring the woods behind the park up the street. One of our favorite places was a rocky ditch across the street from his house where we build dams and watched the rush of water after a storm.

I had parents that encouraged and cultivated all things "nature", but somewhere along the way, I lost that. But now, having a daughter myself, I find it's becoming more and more important to me that she have a connection to our planet the way I did when I was young. Thanks for bringing up some great memories for me! http://www.thesaraheffect.org/2005/06/09/in-a-cabin-in-the-woods/ I actually blogged a few years ago about how much I loved camping, fishing & all things outdoorsy when I was young.

My parents were kind of rabidly non-outdoorsy. My husband, on the other hand, practically grew up in the woods. Our three year old seems to take after her dad in the nature loving realm, so I think a tent is a good bet for our future... I actually have never been camping.

It was awesome. That thing lasted for weeks and I had countless snow ball fights. Nowadays, we rarely get heavy snow fall where I live. But last winter I was able to make a small igloo for my four boys and they went nuts over it. I hope that will stick in their memories for years to come.

He's got to go camping once and that was with The Young Marines, but he'd really like to go camping with his dad. He could really use this and of course if he got it he'd have to share with his sisters. I use to camp all the time growing up, kind of sad that he hasn't went once with us yet.

But I remember one summer, my dad, brother, and I got to stay up on my dad's nights off and then fall asleep in the living room. Not the kind of adventure the Danger book stands for, but it was the best my dad could do. My dad worked at night six days a week so we didn’t spend a lot of time together.

We watched Mayes, McCovey, Bonds, etc., and ate cold fried chicken my Mom had made the previous night. What fun days those were!
