Fun Fishing With the Kids On The Lake

One of our greatest past time, fishing and enjoying it. Fishing is something I always enjoyed eventhough I haven't caught many fishes in my lifetime. It's a passion my kids have come to develop over the years since moving into a home on a lake.

The kids and their friends would go fishing on the lake for hours at a time, coming up empty handed. This past weekend my nine year old daughter visited my moms house and went fishing there on the lake. To my surprise she told me she caught ten or eleven fishes, of those three were BIG. As you can see below one of her fishes in the picture. Pretty crafty for a little girl, she has caught more fish in one day than I have caught in a lifetime. She did this with only a fishing rod and bread for bait.

I was quite surprised and told her how proud I was of her and her knack for catching fish. She really enjoys this and goes often for hours on the lake catching fish. It's a skilled developed over time. She tends to catch more fish than her friends and her brother. Makes me want to go out there and compete with her. As a matter of fact I may go out there and try my fishing pole this weekend.

Fishing can be fun and relaxing, nothing more exciting than feeling a bite and reeling in a catch. Take your kids, friends or someone you love fishing this weekend. It makes something to do exciting this summer. Stay cool by drinking lots of fluids and put on a hat and start fishing away. I am ready to go fishing, are you ready? Come along with me and enjoy the day!

Last Day Of School For The Kids

Sanford Hall


Today is the last day of school for the kids before Christmas. This means I have to do as much if not all of the remaining shopping for christmas while the kids are not at home or in the way. The malls are crowded this time of the year while everyone does their christmas shopping.

I will be shopping for a few video games for my children XBOX360 and WII. I hope and trust it goes well so I can return home in time to bake them cookies as treats once they return from school today. Cookies are something they enjoy and love, therefore I know it will be something that's surprising and exciting once they return. As a dad, I live for these moments, seeing such wonderful expression on their faces. This is the reason I consider myself the worlds best dad, which makes me dad of the day, every day!

Dad Is A Wonderful Experience

Being a father is the greatest joy of my life other than my lovely wife. As a father of a wonderful son and daughter I couldn't be any prouder. It brings great joy to see a smile on their face. I enjoy taking them to and from school. I enjoy playing on the park with them, taking them to the pool or just an evening walk.
What would I do without them?

Being a dad is wonderful, I get a blast from being around my children and just being a responsible and fun dad. Taking them to the doctor or to a school play or recital is something I look forward in doing all the time. I will be a daddy until die.

What's your experience as a dad, is it as wonderful as mine?
