Tell me about it! My daughter does competition cheer year round. We travel almost twice a month up to a 8 hr drive one way. I'm glad I only have one kid.
Our middle daughter did that too. Unfortunately for us, she had serious talent. 4 hours a day 4 days a week, with bills to match for practice, meets from Fl. to WA., I avoid thinking what those cost. I had to send two, daughter and Mom. Jeez. Got her a D1 scholarship, third week of practice hurt her back, career over. Feels like we paid 8+ years worth of college tuition for nothing. But she had a grreat time...
Hurt us all. However, the Oregon team she was recruited to did win the Nat Championship a few years later, which is bitter sweet, but does validate her talent. She is married now, with two boys and a husband that hunts and fishes. Christy coaches the sport when time allows. It's all good.
if I could get her to stop playing with worms and focus on the pole I'd be set!
I understand what he says completely. All thru high school & college I missed most hunting with my family because of football. One I got out of college I had the time to make up for it!!my 9 year old son when asked if he wants to play basket ball or foot ball or baseball he says "not really, that's when the good hunting and fishing is isn't it?" I just patted him on his back and said lets go shoot your bow. haha I lucked out. my hunting buddies son is a freaking athlete and loves his foot ball. had to take a lot of trips home from our hunting trip last year to catch games. part of me wishes son would wanna play but the other part of me is glad he would rather go with me to the hills. he said... isn't hunting a sport? I said yup
