Nevermind the August heat. Think you've gotten the kid started on what was. It wasn't just a walk in the park. It was hot and it was cold. At three, it is a bit early to show the little bugger what it might have been like, but I'll bet he has an idea, already, about what it was like.
When mine were that small, I'd have had no idea of dragging them off to learn all that. Kudo's on you. They are both, now, probably older than you are. And I'd love to have that little guy as mine. Lordy, the tall stories I could tell him! And he would have his own dog. Sport or Buster or Sally.
Sorry. Just reliving a time that was. My kids were never without a dog or a cat or both. Is there a reason that yours doesn't have one?
Here I thought he was miserable the whole time and came home from the trip feeling pretty defeated. And since we got back on Wednesday, he has asked me a couple times about going back to Gettysburg, so he obviously enjoyed himself regardless. I am thinking of making this an annual pilgrimage for us...at least until he is a it older and would enjoy some of the more....serene?... Parks where there aren't as many distractions.
I've been really fortunate to have visited a few parks is year with historically accurate weather. I appreciate it, but I also have a good enough imagination that it isn't strictly necessary.
He does have a dog, or maybe it is more accurate to say his dog has a boy. He's a black Yorkie-poo of about 5 years old named Tyson, who judging by the messes I have found hidden behind some furniture, was revolting against the idea of not having joined us on the trip. My son looooooooooves dogs of all shapes and sizes.
