Sunday

A Fire

A Ride and the Creek

In the morning, a ride with the kids:

In the afternoon, some creek play.

Flint and Steel

The Boy wanted to try to start a fire with his flint and steel from the survival pack he bought earlier this year. He didn't get it started, but he enjoyed chopping at a half-rotten (but dry) log to get small chips to try to catch a spark.

I tried to explain to him that that would not be sufficient, that he should try other methods. We tried using a small planer to produce some thin strips, but nothing worked.

In the end, he just got some matches.

Croft and Berries

A little bike ride to start summer adventures:

And some blueberries.
