mr. whittler

We took our very first family camping trip with some church friends in August.

As we sat by the campfire (the glorious campfire!!), Daniel noticed Josh whittling.

A few weeks ago Daniel told me he'd like to "learn how to whittle".  I'm thrilled! It worked out for me to order him a book on whittling...the 10 most important things about whittling are ONE thing...a sharp knife!

John took him out on the front porch tonight and they whittled together. Some nice spears came out of the time together. 

I'm really proud of his workmanship and his interest in doing something new. I could see his confidence bloom right in front of my eyes!
