RE: So what do you guys do in your off time
 

Since I have been retired several years, I do MORE.
I spend lot's of time with our teen kids during summer-our Biological are grown (5) & we have been Foster Parents for several years now. We take the teens no one else seems to be able to handle. We usually do a weekend trip or two (summer)at a amusement, water park in Wis..Amusement park in Central Iowa (kids love em). At least ONE winter trip to a Indoor water park.
I am in the process of setting up a deep sea fishing trip for everyone during spring break in March(Texas) & hopefully get a couple days of Javalina/Hog Bowhunting also. We are planning a trip to Colorado Mountains-hotel, camp, trout fish-none of the kids have been to Mtns & all want to go & camp. I am not thrilled about that-at my age, I have done weeks, Hell, MONTHs of camping at a stretch.We have agreed to camp a couple days ON TOP of the Mountain & fish for Brookies (I know a place).We do day trips fishing at home (we live about 10 min. from the Miss. River). Summer Camp for the kids & wife & I usually go to Vegas for a few days of recoup time. I also sneak in a couple hog Bowhunts in Oklahoma or Texas (June 9th going for a few days). Wife was critically Ill & still recovering (8 months now) so I DID NOT Deer hunt last year. This fall will be taking kids with (they want to go) & 2 of the girls will be hunting. IF they want to learn to shoot a bowI have everything Teens need * IF * they want to Bowhunt they go to a weekend hunter ed outdoor class in Aug..Our kids go hunting with me lots (their choice). We are a busy family but we plan things EVERYONE enjoys. We let our kids be kids. This will be the start of my 52nd Year of Bowhunting & I have experienced many a Bowhunt in many places over the years-now, I just try & give someone else a chance in a sport that has been such a large part of my life "IF" they want. Oh, we have a couple great ball players & track kids too along with great academics.
Oh, I have also made informational videos since 1990 & continue to do so & we have a new girl showing lots of interest/potential in video production.
You just NEVER know what will happen at our house or where we might be headed for a day,weekend or week. My wife & I have been very blessed & our Bio children have all made us proud too.....Oh, we get to do things with & for our grandkids too-they do not go un rewarded. They love coming to our house, especially when an event is planned-wonder why.....
I have had a couple teen boys experience Javalina & Hog Bowhunting with me. Some experiences they will never forget....
Off season is Hogs, Fishing,& anything FUN at our house.
I only hope you & yours are as blessed as we are.
