I think the activity can be almost anything where there is a challenge. My kids and sometimes I have been lost hunting, been tired, wet, grumpy but we did it anyway. Backpacking, same thing. Even fishing, we have been in tough spots on the river and had to figure things out. Heck, my year old and I had to retrieve the body of a drowned fisherman one time. When we were crawling heavily, my boys were right there helping do trail fixes to get through the trail.

My older kids got far more of this than my younger ones. I am getting soft, and that has impacted them. I need to provide tough things for them to accomplish. I think Gravy is one of the best at having his kids learn by doing. Mesha is another one.

Kids need to be challenged, and with an activity the care enough about to want to push through the hard times. My kids have trained horses (with a broken bone or two to show), ran cross country etc.
All are activities they picked because they wanted to do it, which helped with the motivation to see it through the hard times. Don't think it is very likely to work if we decide for them what to do (they exception being group activities like Trek.)

4th gopher snake in 14 days in our neighborhood. Our neighbors have been awesome about getting ahold of me to relocate them and it’s been really fun for the neighborhood kids to be exposed to them.

For reference, I went on Trek as a teenager. It was so hard and grueling, I left the church.






J/K, I found it an amazing experience and really became enveloped in the history and my ancestors, both sides of which came across the plains in early Utah groups. I quit going to church when I could drive and second Saturday was born :D Far too many gentiles in Utah ruining the solitude of my Sunday camping, shopping and dining experiences these days. As an 'Ancestral Mormon', I want the State of Deseret back.

I loved trek. We spent a week in Wyoming ending at crossing the sweetwater river. Crossed the same spot where the Martin Willy handcart company crossed in the dead of winter. Saw my ancestor's names carved in Independence Rock and learned gratitude for their sacrifices.

Learned some undeniable truths for myself.

Hard things develop character. I'm a slow learner so I'm still desert racing after 9 years, maybe one day I'll quit being an idiot. Somehow my kids enjoys it and my wife told me she had fun racing for the first time this weekend LOL.

I miss the Sunday morning rides in AF Canyon where I would only see one other person on the single track.

The weekend started with this... Some of you may know what happened here by complete accident.

Saturday we started the day by supporting some friends and attending the Millie's Princess Run. We loaned them our trailer for the band that played as they crossed the finish line. Then we headed home for the main event of the day; cutting down one of our trees in the front yard. After getting it loaded in the truck and the trailer after the run, we went down the road to help another neighbor and hauled off all their tree limbs and trimming. We then carefully drove to the dump and was pushing the closing time the whole time. Passed the one and only @STAG at the dump as well. After that, and getting both trailers put away, I finished off the day by mowing the lawn. We rewarded our hard work with a couple T-bone steaks.

Father's Day we headed to church. AJ and I decided to do matching hair haha. After church, we had some good food and visits with everyone at both my mother in laws, and my folks house.

Yesterday I headed to Manti to pick up a new toy. From there I headed over to Moab to pick up some new 37s for the SXS. Had to stop at Pasta Jays and brought it home for the wife and I for dinner. Surprisingly (not really though - have you ever ate at PJs?!) it was still warm by the time I got home!

See it peaking out a little? (that's what she said)

Next hint... (yes, my garage is a disaster right now)

Should be fun to dink around with. My dad used to do trials back in the day and my late grandfather and uncle founded the Wasatch Trials Association. My dad recently picked up another trials bike, and a couple of my other family members did also, so figured what the heck.
