I cut out of work early yesterday to take my Partner (6 year old Grandson) and his 8 year old best friend for a day in the country. They caught bluegills, green sunfish and broke off one whopper catfish. They picked and ate a bunch of blackberries, destroyed my beer can collection with BB guns and rode 4 wheelers. I expect they got lots of chigger bites.
At the end of the day, when it was time to travel the 70 miles home, they started hammering me to spend the night and do it all again the next day. We stopped at a BBQ place on the way home and they were too tired to eat. That's unusual for this pair.
My Grandson is used to this and spends a lot of time with me. His friend isn't and the day was hugely improved by bringing another kid. When we got home they started their planning for a full weekend and the other kid wants to move in with me.
Boy, did I have a great day. Now back to work.
