Writing Prompt #11

Pete grew up in the mountains, in the deep snow where you could tell the world your secrets and no one would hear them. He loved the outdoors where he had the freedom to fish and hunt whenever he wanted to but as a small boy, his mom decided to move them to Los Angeles where everything was different. Instead of endless rows of trees, it was endless rows of skyscrapers and the cars are bumper to bumper. Living in Los Angeles for the next 30 years of his life wasn't as bad as he thought it would be. He had a wife, 3 kids and a good job now so he never really gave it much thought to move back to the Montana Mountain's. He told his wife when they first met about where he grew up and how he will always want to go back there someday. For their 10th wedding anniversary she surprised him and purchased a small cabin on 40 acres near his old home and decided to take the family there for a couple weeks. Pete never forgot how to set rabbit snares or tie a fishing knot so he showed his kids how to do all of this. He would wake up at 4 in the morning before anyone even thought about waking up and would put on his snow shoes and just walk around the mountains reliving the old days. He was in the best mood of his life while he was traveling all the terrain he used to as he was growing up. He even talked to his old neighbors who never moved out of their place. His kids enjoyed taking a break from the city life and learning how fun it is to actually have room to breath and enjoy a peaceful night with no noises. This was exactly what he wanted so he and his wife decided they would visit this place every year on their anniversary and enjoy a few weeks of solitude.
