I am the designated cowboy (without the lasso and cattle prod) on our nature walks in charge of herding the kids so the Mrs. can handle the photography.

Our challenging youngest has actually surprised me in that he behaves well on hikes. He gets so absorded in the nature, rocks, water, and critters that I sometimes forget how much of a challenge he can be otherwise. I agree as well that doing things as a family and including everyone is best, despite the challenges.
