Two boys and their watches out for a Nature Day!>>>>>

[jholbrook]

I've took the week off to be with my son, and we've had a great time! Golf, swimming, putt-putt, Xbox 360, and Nintendo Wii! ;D

Today we decided to go on a nature walk to Cox Arboritum - it's a very well maintained nature preserve close to my home:

Here's my boy!

John really liked watching the water wildlife in the water:

We saw some pretty fish in the water:

It was quite warm, so several turtles were sunning themselves like this fellow:

I took the opportunity to get some good photos of him...here's a father in son shot (set the camera on a tripod and set the timer).

Here's another shot (look closely and you'll see he's wearing his Invicta 8926 and I'm wearing my Submariner):

They have some really nice flowers at the Arboritum:

I found this guy in the butterfly house....unfortunately the butterflys were frenetic and wouldn't sit still for a photo...

A few more shots of John the third - I think he's going to have the young girls chasing after him soon enough. ;D

I hope you had as much fun looking at these photos as we had taking them!

Your pics make a grat visual impact - thanks for sharing!

the Invicta of your son is the right watch to prepare him for his future Rolex - may be his father´s one as a 21. birthday gift :D

John, thanks a lot for sharing. The pictures are gorgeous.

Good to see a soon-to-be-WIS in the wild ;)

All the best-

Nice shots, John.

He's not quite old enough for anything more than a $100.00 Invicta. :tongue:

Yep - the plan is to give him a Rolex when he graduates from High School. :D

Hello John! Nice pics, and compliments to you, you must be a very proud father!!

It's also a good idea to give him his first Rolex after graduating high school!

He has to earn it, and what would be better than good exams? :gut:
