That's Great!!! That kid has the full on action hero soul! I was just talking with a couple guys the other day about where have all our hero's gone, the ones that helped shape us into the men we are today.

Good to see that true hero's are timeless....

Thanks :) In a somewhat foolhardy moment I bought him a grappling hook on a climbing rope - so we've spent the day swinging from trees on it. He's not managed to knock himself out with the hook yet - which I guess is good!

We don't have any others to pass it down to! It'll probably get sold to part fund the next one... (this is already jacket number 2.....) :anxious:

Seriously though, I hope I can keep him interested enough to invest in another Wested :TOH:

That pretty awesome. He's a lucky kid. When I was a little younger than him, I asked my mom for a Fonzie jacket. She promised me she would get one. She ended up getting me a navy blue windbreaker with a rainbow pattern across the chest. Despite it's NON-SA look. I wore it everyday. Hope he gets lots of years out of it, as i did my " Fonzie " jacket.
