    My oldest daughter, 17, has played viola since 5th grade. She was invited to play in the orchestra pit for the production of Wizard of Oz. She's the only kid in the viola section. Performance is in a couple of weeks. I am amazed at her dedication.

    My youngest, 13, is an amazing artist & writer. I cleaned out a little room in our house for her Christmas gift. I made it into her art studio.

    They shoot pretty well. We practice in our front yard. They have traditional bows.
    I've taught them to shoot guns. They have competed in throwing hatchets & knives at the local mountain man get together. I've taken them on deer, turkey, pheasant, quail & hungarian partridge hunts, etc. But, I'm so glad they like the more lady like things in life too. They are girly girls. They know how to can food and garden and shoot a critter too.

    Rick, great pic of your girls & you!! I meant for this to be a post where everyone brags on their kids. Thanks for sharing Rick :)

    My daughter and myself at her High School Graduation last year. She was in top 1% in her class. And is now a Freshman at the University of Missouri in Columbia.

    I love her very much and admire her for the way she handled the loss of her mother to Leukemia a year and a half ago. I didn't know how she would do after that, the two of them were very close. She seems to be doing fine in college, mostly A's with a couple of B's the first semester.

    Tanner on the left now 9, this will be his first year hunting. He loves baseball and is very good already at constructing things with his hands. He is like a tick when Dads home :tu: Hallie in the middle now 15. She is big time into fast pitch softball, this is her first year in high school ball, and as a freshman, she is starting pitcher for the team, small but extreamly powerfull on the mound. She is also on a travel team that one 98% of there games and tourneys last season. Dalton on the right almost 17, This kid eats sleaps and breaths the outdoors. Deer Turkeys, water foul, fishing and shed hunting. He has been my best hunting partner ever. He can voice gobbble like no other. Im proud of all three.
