very nice!

A few weeks ago, I had trimmed a few small branches off our maple tree. The kids love running around with sticks, and were breaking off the smaller twigs to make good sticks they could play with. So went went inside and got a couple of pocket knives and taught them about cutting the bark off, and cutting off all the little sharp twigs poking out the sides. Making the sticks nice and smooth. Both were instantly hooked. We spent a couple hours, just sitting on the bench of the picnic table, making piles of shavings in the grass by our feet.

Absolutely nothing like this though.
