[speaker001:] all right uh yeah we we spending quite a bit of time on me and my wife spending a lot of time with our kid we do a lot of games and stuff with him uh
[speaker002:] okay how many kids do you have
[speaker001:] just one
[speaker002:] okay must make it nice to be able to have two of you and one one child
[speaker001:] oh yeah and uh we you know we take turns taking him back and forth taking him to day care and stuff so
[speaker002:] okay
[speaker001:] he gets both of us
[speaker002:] right
[speaker001:] and
[speaker002:] in our case we have uh two children that are a little bit older than that one of them
[speaker001:] yeah
[speaker002:] being a teenager wants to take care of himself more than he wants us to take care of him
[speaker001:] but uh
[speaker002:] I do believe that it's it's nice to have opportunities to have the whole family together
[speaker001:] oh yeah it's and uh it's pretty nice for us you know a lot of times we just sit out front and watch him ride his bicycle and stuff like that
[speaker002:] those memories can be really nice I guess uh especially looking back toward them I have several memories like that and that was brought home even more distinctly about two weeks ago when a a very good well a a good friend's uh daughter age fifteen was killed in an automobile accident oh suddenly
[speaker001:] hm yeah
[speaker002:] that's when you look back and think oh my goodness
[speaker001:] yeah what could I have done to change you know something
[speaker002:] right or uh be glad that uh be glad count the blessings that you receive every once and awhile and don't take it for granted
[speaker001:] yeah
[speaker002:] uh
[speaker001:] yep that's for sure I can understand that part
[speaker002:] oh what sort of do you do activities as a family go out and do things
[speaker001:] oh yeah we go out uh sometimes we got to like a wet and wild park it's uh kind of you know
[speaker002:] ah yes yeah we've we've got a big one coming up this uh uh
[speaker001:] one in
[speaker002:] this summer we hope we live uh in the western part of the United States and we're thinking of going to the south west and doing some hiking and camping and stuff like that
[speaker001:] well yeah
[speaker002:] that I hope will be an experience that our kids remember for I well the rest of their lives
[speaker001:] yeah
[speaker002:] and maybe pass on to their kids
[speaker001:] uh that's what my folks did with us you know
[speaker002:] really
[speaker001:] yeah we went camping and stuff in the Big Horn and the Teton so
[speaker002:] oh okay
[speaker001:] yeah I know uh there's some good memories
[speaker002:] yeah yeah
[speaker001:] but and
[speaker002:] that's one of that's one of my favorite things uh thinking back to those shared activities and all the little things like the the tent leaking and uh
[speaker001:] yeah
[speaker002:] running out of gas or things like that tend to uh disappear in those fuzzy warm fuzzy memories from uh years later
[speaker001:] oh yeah and one we went camping and the next morning we woke up and there's snow on the ground so
[speaker002:] yeah I had an experience like that in the in the mountains here in Idaho in which uh yeah it was just raining a little bit early in the morning and when it turned into snow in August we said no let's move down a few thousand feet
[speaker001:] yeah
[speaker002:] oh
[speaker001:] yeah I kind of miss that and we hadn't really had a chance lately to go
[speaker002:] um-hum
[speaker001:] camping or anything but we're thinking about doing a big trip this summer to go camping because the wife's in school and it's kind of hard to go and do anything when she's in school and stuff so
[speaker002:] well right right well that kind of works out for us too and uh we also have commitments with the rest of our family in that uh as well as being parents we're also kids and uh my wife's parents uh want us to get together for family reunions for instance
[speaker001:] oh yeah
[speaker002:] unfortunately the family's on the other side of the country
[speaker001:] and uh yeah that's mine my family is up north and they are kind of all over
[speaker002:] um-hum
[speaker001:] most of them are in Wyoming and then I got one sister that's in New York so
[speaker002:] so you can spend a lot on travel too
[speaker001:] oh yeah because I live in Texas right now so
[speaker002:] um-hum
[speaker001:] uh
[speaker002:] oh dear
[speaker001:] but you know we like I said we do a lot of activities with our son and stuff we play games with him in the house and everything uh
[speaker002:] um-hum there are times when I wish that I had more time to spend with my kids uh today I was busy working well well I try to get over and visit my daughter who's doing some computer stuff at school and uh help out with that and this morning about oh fifteen minutes after I knew they'd started that I
