A Fish Tale

Tanner earned a fishing date with Dad for doing all his chores for a week without being asked.
I love that Tanner is becoming more independent in that area! We go on monthly dates with our kids and absolutely love our time spent together!

Fishing is a sport that requires patience (which is not found in a 5 year old). He was amazingly patient and didn't want to give up. So while waiting for the fish, Tanner found a stick (which he loves and collects regularly) and with Dad's help made a fishing pole complete with jig and all. Too bad it could only be cast out a few feet into a few inches of water.

Tan's so creative!

3 1/2 hours of fishing and no luck. That wasn't going to keep them from eating fish that day. Their next fishing adventure will be at the trout ponds.
