Afternoon walk with my daughter.

[joeyshoe]

Calla is only 6 but I have been having a blast being her father. She has been busy with homeschooling, kung fu, piano and being big sister to three little brothers. Her attitude and fun spirit is so refreshing and I just LOVE spending time with her. These pictures were from yesterday. I really enjoy being out in the snow so I asked her if she wanted to join me for a walk. We bundled up, packed the pup out and loaded her backpack with some nalgenes and trekking poles and headed out. There is a Burger King about midway through our walk so we stopped in for some hot chocolate.

Just felt like sharing these pics, the story with them and the love I have for my daughter. These are special times and I feel very blessed to have her.

Very nice. Daughters are what keeps dads heart warm.

Awesome. Thanks for sharing.

She looks cold but definitely enjoying the time well spent. Good job dad!

Really cute young lady. Too bad you don't know anyone who owns guns - I think you'll need one to scare her suitors when she gets older, but the Kung Fu will help.

Enjoy these moments while you can. All too soon they grow up and won't want to spend quality time with daddy anymore.

Yup! Good eye! It's a Ray Allen pack. They are local... In the springs. It's some pretty serious gear.

[ChadAmberg]

That's all kinds of wonderful right there...

Fantastic! There's nothing quite like the bond between a daughter and her father. :)

[pickenup]

Good times.
Thanks for the pics.

Very awesome! Thank you for sharing. On my days off, weather permitting, I let my 3-year old ride his bicycle up to Starbucks while I walk with him. I get a coffee and he gets a spoonful of whip cream, the we head home. It's only a few blocks, so not to far of a ride and it makes his whole day. God bless the little ones.

I have a tendency to vear away from a lot of the topics here on but I had to reply to this. When I read this post I picked up my four year old daughter and wouldn't put her down. My daughter is my entire world and you posting about your day with yours made me think how totally apart of me my daughter is. Once a week we spend the entire day together, eating junk food, going to toy stores, singing as loud as we can, Disney on Ice, whatever....just sort of raising hell and and hanging out. It's our weekly daddy/daughter date. All the other days are special too, but one day week we do it a little different. I am lucky man to have a four year old as my best friend. There is no greater gift. Thanks for posting this Joey, it really made me smile.

Very cool ....she is a cutie pie.

Love it man! I live close to you in Divide. My daughters and I made a snowman and had a snowball fight that day and it was awesome! They home school also. Sounds like we might have a lot in common.

They are the reason I carry concealed more than anything. I have a friend who wont carry around his kids. What's the point? I would lay down my life for my kids and cant imagine something happening to them that I could have prevented.

Old thread but it still managed to make my eyes water a bit.

Daughters rock.

Thanks again to everyone for the kind words and encouragement! Calla's birthday is on the 24th and I'm hoping to get together enough "cheddar" to buy her a savage rascal. She's saved up $48.52 as of today. Hopefully in a few weeks i'll be able to post up some more of our adventures...but with moar [UZI]
