Hunter and I went down to the Ramapo River tonight. Always interested to see how high it gets after some rain. Also down by the river the choruses of tree frogs were unmissable.

Started throwing rocks in the river...found a flat one and skipped it almost across.

"How'd you do that, Dad?"

I haven't taught my kids to skip stones. There is a worthy mission for the summer.

We found a few more rocks. I talked to stance, how to grip the stone, the angle you throw the stone, etc.

Nothing skipped tonight but we'll be back.
