Uncle E wrote a comment to that post: "I’m surprised you didn’t talk about my youngest falling into the lake (as she’s wont to do) and your chivalrous son offering my shivering little princess his shirt. What an absolute gentleman."
Sharyn sent some photos of the trip. Here's one of young Dylan and "his" two young ladies. Having already offered his shirt, he's shown here protecting his female charges from any further danger lurking in the wild.
Dylan really is one sweet, kind eight year-old, although lately, when I ask him for a hug--instead of just grabbing him--his response is to headbutt me in the abdomen. I'm glad he didn't start that when he was a foot shorter.

What a sweet photo! Dylan is such a gentleman.
Oh, man! Maybe you want to stop asking for a hug, and simply start falling into a lake on a regular basis.
I'm with Kelly...sweet, sweet picture.
Awwwww...that's a keeper photo! Love it!
There's a lot of head butting around here. Fortunately, I'm not usually the target! :)
Pam took the words outta my mouth -- that pic's a keeper!
(headbutt)
Hal, you should really be proud! (And that amazing photo does speak a thousand words!) A pat on the back to you and your wife for raising such a considerate, sweet boy!
(I was so freaked out when I heard about the helicopter crash in South Louisiana last week. I'm glad it wasn't you, but sad for the families of all those killed...)
Chivalry is alive and well, and in someone so young too - wonder where he got that concept from, eh, Hal?
Great stuff, mate.
That's just one of a hundred examples of Dylan's kind hearted nature. But one of my favorites.
BTW, why haven't I seen that photo? Did you say my wife took it? I really need to pay more attention...
Very, very cute.

Oh how very cute. A real keeper. Definitely modeling what he's learned.
