Family summer vacations, at least my dad had a good time :)
Not pictured: my mom and little brother lagging even further behind.
Am I your dad? I Love dragging my kids on hikes. I can tell from his expression that he’s explaining to you how that rock face formed and that it s the perfect habitat for that very common and bland flower that is everywhere around. Also did you know that the water carved the Canyon below. See that white vein in the rock, that was my a crack thatgot filled in by mineral water over thousands of years…
I wish my dad was like that! :)
My dad is someone who likes to hike for hiking’s sake. We would spend summer vacations in the Alps, going on hikes every other day. And it was all about walking a lot of kilometers with him, preferably up mountains and never down.
I can understand that it was his vacation as well, and he wanted to enjoy himself. But he always overestimated our stamina, which ended with most of us tired and sore halfway. The second half of the hike was always such a slog.So, your kids should count themselves lucky. At least you try to keep the hike interesting :)
Have a sticker for being great dad ⭐️(Also I love my dad, I just didn’t like his hikes… Before I sound too negative about him)
Love the drawing, I also recognize the kid face. I was trying to convey that on top of walking I bore my kids with mundane stuff only I find interesting. But yeah ill Take that sticker and show them next time they grunt when I find yet another cool looking tree trunk. :)
