Two boys 7 & 8. They sure can be challenging at times, but Every year with them gets better and better. The eldest loves nothing more than camping and fishing with me. The little one enjoys it but gets car sick from time to time.
Took my eldest on a Simpson crossing last year, and it was just me and him for about 5 days a great time, really good chance to get to know him even better, oddly enough i found a real level of respect for him. one particular day was a big one. we slept in our swags in an underground campground in Coober Pedy called rivas. good fun but noisy as all get out. we were both awake at 5 am so rolled the swags and hit the road. that drive from coober to adelaide that many of you will know which is pretty desolate was a really nice time, made it all the way to renmark without one complaint from him. We stayed in a motel there with a very basic breaky, and he thought it was great. Can't wait to take them both back this year.
Wouldn't change a thing. Funny thing I've found since I've had them is that the things that seemed important to me pre kids, just don't seem to matter anymore.
