ACTIVITIES
When I have time to myself, most of it is spent with my daughters. We do a variety of activities such as drawing, sculpting, biking, and hiking. When they need to learn something, I love going into detail on the proper ways of completing a task. If time with my daughters is temporarily over, I will rebuild old computers, work on my car, or do some yard work just to keep busy.
