Thanks for sharing your experience!
7 to 12 is a magical age, right now you are a super hero but all to soon she will see that you are a mere mortal. I kind of learned the hard way with my oldest daughter now 20. She and I had a favorite bike ride, but way to many times she would ask and I would say I'm to tired. Then one day she stopped asking, I think it was around 12 so I asked her. She answered something to the effect of its too late Dad I don't want to ride anymore. Ouch
