Default memories that will last 4 ever

As a divorced dad I can attest to the truth of this.
I started taking my 2 boys camping up in the White Mountains every chance I got.
Now I’m not talking the new age camping where you have to have all the conveniences of home. That’s just not camping.
I’m talking sleeping in a tent, cooking on an open fire, sometimes bringing our own water. We would hike Mt. Washington every labor day. We Mtn biked as many trails as we were allowed to throughout this state.
Too this day both boys still look back and talk about those trips we took, and how great the meal we cooked were.
I was labeled as the “fun parent” by them.

Now my oldest at 26 has started doing the same with his girlfriend. They camped at Zealand Falls campground this past Memorial Day weekend. They hiked Mt. Washington and caught many trout out of the river.
