Like Father Like Son







Cole's very favorite thing to do with Rhonald is look at his fishing books and fly fishing things...the flies, the reels, the tools. He loves it. We have never pushed it on him but from a very young age he was interested in fishing and everything to go along with it. You can imagine how happy this makes his daddy! My parents live on a golf course and right behind their home is a big pond that is full of perch and crappie. Rhonald and my dad always take the boys down to the pond to fish in the evenings when the golfers have gone home. This year we decided it would be fun to let Cole go too. I let him pick out a fishing pole (he chose a Lightening McQueen pole of course) and bring it with us. He was so excited when Rhonald told him it was time to get his fishing things ready. Cole has been "practicing" in our living room for a week now. Rhonald did not put a hook on Cole's pole so that he would not get hurt but Cole never even noticed. He loved it!!! Tyler and Luke both caught fish and Cole loved "tickling" the fish and watching them in and out of the water. Kylie tried a little fishing too but she was more like me and did not like touching the fish at all! The difference in boys and girls I guess. Cole had so much fun that he has been begging to go again and I know Rhonald cannot wait to take him. Rhonald has already mentioned all of the neat places he thinks they should go as Cole gets older. It was awesome to watch them have so much fun doing something they both really love.

That is so precious! I'll never forget the first fish Adam ever caught. Rhonald and Cole are going to have such fun fishing together in the coming years!
