Kid Fish

One of the absolute joys of my life is taking my kids fishing. I've been hauling Bailee along since she was about four and she is such a talented angler, she could probably give a clinic to others on how to catch a fish.

Ryan, on the other hand is a rookie. So imagine my delight when my boy finally got to the age where he would sit still long enough to actually catch a fish. Now I didn't say he would set there long - just long enough.

On this perfect day in June, me and my dad took the two to the pond on the place where I grew up. When I wasn't baiting their hooks I watched them talk and laugh with one another the way me and my brothers did so many times.

For me, childhood was a delight. Even more delightful is seeing my two children loving life and each other while growing up on the banks of an old stock pond.
