Getting Kids Hooked on Fishing

I come from a long line of fisherpersons – anglers, so to speak.  I remember standing at the age of four, on a dock in the rain with my grandfather, listening to him singing softly in my ear.  And my father’s mother, in her housedress and cobbler-style apron, wasn’t afraid to get down on her knees and land a big Northern Pike with the best of them.

Back in Time
Exploring Pioneer Days with your Grandchildren

Exploring history together can give children an appreciation for the challenges our ancestors faced and conquered and a sense of intergenerational community. Minnesota is a youngster on the historical landscape, but plenty of interesting sites and activities abound to share with the special youngsters in your life.

Cookin’ with kids
Spend Quality Time with Your Grandkids in the Kitchen

Summertime is your opportunity to spend time with your grandchildren in the kitchen. One of the best reasons is that you can prepare delicious food together and share in their sense of accomplishment at the same time they are learning about healthy foods. Teaching your grandchild to cook will help him develop skills that lead to a lifetime of healthy choices.
