Thrills — and reading and writing — have always been important to Ontario blogger/author Mark Bierman. Read on for how he describes his favorite sorts of adventures! He’s also been a guest at Happiness Between Tails here and here.

Bonding with my kids is what I love to do! by Mark Bierman
Time has a way of slipping by way too quickly. It seems that only yesterday I held my oldest daughter, Amanda, in my arms when she was a seven-pound, ten-ounce newborn. I was both overwhelmed and overjoyed at the same time. That was back in February of 2007! Two years later, our second, Isabel, was born. Today they are a pair of beautiful, smart, and fun-loving girls with whom I’ve had many adventures. This fits well with both my lifestyle and writing style. I love to write action/adventure, and you can go to my website to find out more about it.
I won’t take up too much of your time here. I know we all have busy lives, so I’ve compiled three of my favorite photos that show the type of activities we do to bond. Thanks for reading! Thank you, Da-Al for opening up your blog today and allowing me the privilege of being a guest!
We were at a waterfall, and the rocks were slippery. I “wisely” cautioned the kids about the slippery algae, but then decided to jump a small puddle, yup, I slipped. Amanda must have been feeling empathetic because she slipped soon after.

In this photo, we are proudly displaying our slimed pants.
On a recent trip, the writer in me was annoyed by this sign. Rather than spray paint “for” between the words, I had Isabel pretend to be a ‘Watch Child.’

She watches and reports ALL to Mom!
I think most parents will agree that spending time with your kids is worth more than anything you can give them.

Bonjour Mon AMIE , Ami

Comment trouver le bonheur
Surtout
Ne le cherche pas le bonheur dans tes souvenirs
Cela te ferait beaucoup plus de mal
Tu retrouverais les bons ainsi que les mauvais
Si tu veux trouver le bonheur
Cherche le dans le présent
C’est seulement là qu’ il t’attend et là tu éviteras ceux qui peuvent te faire du mal
Alors vit ton bonheur dans ce présent
Belle semaine à toi , tes proches tes amies
Pour toi une partie de mon bonheur
Bisous Bernard
