Thank you, sir. I am enjoying the time with them. I tried geocaching. Sadly, I guess the rewards weren't immediate enough (gag). It kept their interest for about four caches and then they were done. I liked the geocaching because it had urban and rural finds. There was something for about all tastes.

(okay, so not claiming to be the awesome dad since this will be my third post around parenting in this thread.) I have been trying to make a point with the boys without telling them I am making a point. When I am driving and somebody texts me, I will hand them the phone and ask them to read it. Then i ask them to type a response. I hope that more than my words, they see me not texting behind the wheel. I figure making them type for me will help hammer the idea home. We'll see if it sticks.

You're a 1911 guy?
