Teri,

Last fall I took my husband and daughter with me grave hunting (genealogy). My daughter, who is nine, thouht it was a hoot to find the people I was looking for. It was cold, snow on the ground, and out in the middle of nowhere, and we still had fun. BUT, she did not tell her friends what we did on T-day break.
