Sonya talked about moving the mountains in front of us, and you give us this wonderful example of a kid who straightens his shoulders and adapts to whatever surroundings, a kid who puts on his hiking boots and finds the woods. I just love that. <br /><br />Somebody did an awesome job of raising that fellow. I think he on the road to being a might man. (Just the kind I'm praying up for my daughters. Too bad he's too young and too far away...)<br /><br />And Wooohoooooo on the academic accomplishment! He must have an awesome foundation.

Our life was just the reverse. We lived in town and my kids had to adapt to city life and we didn't get here until my two oldest were almost grown. <br />We did lots of camping then though. I think God allows what He allows and we can do with it what we will. :)Farm Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00998621464797636686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-292398111323195424.post-47744532899255541872012-07-04T06:15:04.159-07:002012-07-04T06:15:04.159-07:00Awesome young man.

Many kids from our area attended Wisconsin Wilderness Campus (link: http://pbu.edu/academics/oneyear/wwc/index.cfm) Your son is a little young but sounds like the kind of kid that would be interested.

So glad he prefers such things, though. He's better for it and when the power is out - like in our part of the country just now after the derecho early Saturday morning - you don't melt. So much destruction here in less than 30 minutes! But, the Lord preserved us from great harm - our power was back within hours. We've been a half-way house for friends and relatives waiting days now for power. Some may go into the weekend without it still - and the property damage is immense!<br /><br />Glad you liked tea with Betsy - but really, comparing me to David Barton?
