Fishin' 4 Fun

"Any man can be a father,
but it takes a special person to be a dad."




"Every father should remember that one day his son
will follow his example instead of his advice."


The daddies: Shawn & Scott

The boys: Ethan & Konrad

Early in the morning, on the 4th of July, the daddies quietly woke their oldest boys up and quickly dressed them. Why? They were going fishing! Yeah! A man from our church who has a small pond lives close by to us. The pond is full of fish. You barely drop your pole and have caught one.
They had a blast. Ethan loved it; although he would take breaks. Ethan would say, "I just want to watch." On the other hand, Konrad never would stop; he kept at it the whole time.
All the boys wanted to talk about in Sunday School the following Sunday was that they caught fish. They kept interrupting each other and they both had to tell their version of the story. The poor Sunday School teacher was afraid they didn't get much out of the lesson....:-)
Sunday dinner was fabulous...fried fish, baked potatoes, green beans...Mmm! My men can go fishing lots more if we can have yummy meals like that!

What fun that looks like! (Well, not the fish-cleaning part.) I love that last picture of Ethan holding up his prize... the way he's holding up his fish, it almost looks like he's sticking it up his nose! lol!! =)
