We were stopped by a cop once who thought I should be in one of those booster seats. I showed him my driver's license and introduced him to my daughter in the baby seat in the back. He just said. "Sorry, you could have fooled me," and laughed.

We take her almost everywhere with us. We want her to see us all as a family unit and identify with what we do. We also take her with us when we go out for nachos, etc. I'm not old enough to drink, but she enjoys going up and "dancing" with daddy if the band isn't too loud up close.

She really enjoys going out in the woods with us. There's always something different to see. And we try to show her stuff and tell her about it. My mom babysits for us but only if my husband is working or I'm in school. Otherwise she's with us.

We get really irate when we go out to the range and never see any kids there. How do people expect to pass shooting and hunting along to their kids if they don't let them take part in it?

I could go on with this rant, but I had better stop.
