Since 2014, I think, I have been taking Spencer to Home Depot every first Saturday of the month, earlier in 2016 Camden started to join us. The boys love building different thing and it is a great way for them to learn how to use their hands to make things. It's also a great, daddy bonding time. My wife gets tons of time with them to in her own way.
Several months ago we started "donut Sunday". It started of as wanting to try some cool donut places in St. Louis. There are some good and eclectic places in the area but Krispy Kream and Dunking Donut being the favorites. Funny but they prefer those places instead of the expensive places, which is fine by me.
Both things we started doing since I stopped coaching, I think it was my way of making up for all the times I missed when I was away cause for coaching. Don't get me wrong I loved coaching and it was financially beneficial for my family, but I was given a choice or a way out of coaching. Me and the wife talked about it and was still unsure of my final decision but thanks to my AD at the time he made the hard choice for me to exit coaching. I thought he was the biggest jerk at the time but when I started my first year not coaching it was worth it. I loved my XC girls and miss that the most, I really got attached to my last senior class since they were with me since they were freshman. Truthfully I don't think I could start that process again, so it was a good time to go. I was already going to give up track that year so it was a good way to go in good terms. Still miss it but having and making these "traditions" with my boys is priceless.
