<p>"...when was the last time you simply spent a day relaxing, goofing off and having fun with your kid?"</p>
<p>We actually do a lot of this, although it might also go into the category of stressful activities. We do a lot (like almost every weekend) of all kinds of outdoor things: hiking, snowshoeing, cross-country skiing, and such. For Thanksgiving, we went to Florida to do some cavern diving in one of the beautiful springs (as well as see family for Thanksgiving dinner). For New Year's my wife and I took him to explore some of the West Virginia caves we used to spend a lot of time in. We had a great, fun time. Last year, he and his Mom went ice climbing. He liked that a lot and wants to do it again this winter. Day after tomorrow, we'll be downhill skiing. </p>
<p>We actually spend a LOT of time together as a family, although I don't know if you would call it a "relaxing" time.</p>
