Took my 7 year old camping for his bday this weekend, like real camoing.not todays rv campers..had a blast, hiking, tracking, tree and berry identification, fire and a fryimg pan.then the tragity starts...we are doing a canoe trip down this river, and stop at a old railroad bridge to hit up a homemade rope swing, as we are there a family passes through , wife, husband 2 small kid..my boy points out hey dad that little boy isn't wearing a life jacket..I said ya I agree..now mind you..I'm a very strong swimmer..but wear a life jacket to simply set a good example for my kid..so about 30 mi. Later we decide to paddle on.., about 2 miles dowm river we see the same family on shore and the mom is freakinv out, I literally have chills as I'm texting this, thier canoe tipped over and thier 6 year old boy never came back up..I guess the moral of this story is life is short and unfortunately when poor desions are made this is the possiblr outcome..so people..the next time you see your kid..give them a hug and tell them you love them..for you never know when the emd is here
