Took my 6 yo son up yesterday am until lunch. We had about 8 walk through but spooked very easy with the stand bouncing around from an excited 6yo . He had fun, after we came down he said, "that was cool being so close to them" - that clinched the day for me. We had fun watching some otter play in the creek below us for 15 minutes; I had no idea I had otter on my place until yesterday, cute little critters.
