FATHER'S PERSPECTIVE You're unloading all of the [[camping gear]] from the truck and notice that Steven has already gone off to explore. You notice he is getting further away and has yet to look back to see how far he has gone so you yell: "Come back Steven! We are in a forest so everything looks the same which makes it easy to get lost. Make sure if you go anywhere you stay close enough to me that you can always see me." Steven comes back to the truck and you give him the task of moving the fishing gear from the truck to the tree near the picnic table. [[Next]]

[[Back]]

BOY'S PERSPECTIVE After driving for what feels like forever ( 1 hour and 45 minutes) you finally get to your campsite for the weekend.

FATHER'S PERSPECTIVE The hike is going better than I thought and Steven seems to like it a lot. [[Look down]]

BOY'S PERSPECTIVE Hiking is so fun but I have to watch where I am going because there are lots of big rock and roots sticking out of the ground that I could trip on (at least that's what dad says) [[Start hiking from father's perspective]] [[Continue hike from boy's perspective]]
