Nathaniel is home again...

Nathaniel has been gone for ten days with his grandpa, camping and fishing, up in the fish lake area. He really wasn't sure that he wanted to go for so long, but he had a great time. My dad told us that he was like a "coo-coo clock every hour on the hour, reminding him that he was very homesick and he wanted to come home. When he got home on Saturday he had some tales to tell. First he told us of how many fish he caught, four to be exact, then he continued to tell us the size of them, they seemed to grow in leaps and bounds each one he told us about, the first being small and by the end it was the size of a whale. :) He also informed us that he cooked and ate them. On to the next tale, he saw big foot at least three times, and Annie who lived with the wolves? I was laughing about big foot but was clueless to Annie. Nathaniel went on to tell me that she was a young girl who was raised by the wolves and she still roams the mountains, she has white hair, if you are watching close at night, sitting around the campfire you might see her rushing by. He was certain that he saw her, I think that my dad must of been telling him stories around the campfire. Next he told us that it snowed and snowed, at least a foot, so they were stuck in the trailer for some time, can you believe that it was snowing in June, crazy weather! He thought that not having something to do was so boring, I thought man I wish that I was there just relaxing, to be young again and enjoy those moments. How often can we say we don't have anything to do? All in all he had a great time camping with grandpa, I am so glad that he is able to go and do things with his grandparents, and thanks to them that they are willing to spend time with the grand kids. Thanks dad, although he reminded you every hour that he was home sick, I know that he will treasure the time that he spent with you.
