excellent....be sure to do something that they enjoy immediately after done, so they will want to do it again.

truth...but kids are a little different nowadays!

full disclosure though, about the second week after dad made me start mowing the lawn, I smashed up the front of the lawnmower when I hit the clothesline pole....he decided that I should wait another year before he handed the task off to me completely!

I was 10 when my dad taught me how to push now. He worked for Halliburton until he passed. Every day he left out he'd tell me he loved me and to make sure I had the yard cut before he made it back in. As I got older I waited longer and longer to cut it. When I was 16 I waited once till the day he came in to cut. He got home late that night. Next day he asked how many days it had been since I mowed....he smelled my BS coming from a mile away when I told him it had been 3-4 days. I learned how to edge, weed eat and use the back pack blower that afternoon.

One of the one questions that I asked that I wish I could unask:
My dad was pushing the lawnmower, "Dad, can I try?"

My son (10) started mowing the yard last year. He really did a great job with it.

Today we went to my wife's grandparents to pick up some firewood. Wife grandfather had thre huge logs that he brought up from the pasture that had blown down in a storm last year.

I cut the logs in 18-20" piece and started splitting it. Into 5-6 pieces. My son got his first taste of splitting wood.

It was a good day except for me finding out just how out of shape I am after that work.
