dad-son dude night

just like emma had her special christmas date with dad, saturday was tyler's turn (though we don't call it a christmas date).

individual daddy time is so important for the kids, it doesn't matter how old they get.  of course with ty, he doesn't go out on a date with aaron or anything, but they do spend time building stuff or having jam sessions in the basement.  guy time is a great way to communicate and connect with each other without feeling pressured to talk (if that makes any sense at all).




















so, for their special christmas DUDE night the two of them went tobogganing.  a perfect winter activity to do together!  toboganning is offered through the cleveland metroparks and for $8 dollars you can tobogan to your hearts content.  they both had a blast going down the 70 foot drop and came home grinning from ear to ear.

check out the promo video to get an idea of what they did...


and of course, it wouldn't be a dude night without some minor injuries.  some scraped knuckles and a little blood made the whole night complete.
