The Third Time’s a Charm!
As seen through the eyes of an eight year-old, always on the move and persistently seeking constant stimulation and entertainment; fishing can be a pretty dull way to spend a hot afternoon…until he lands the big one!

I’m bored!
I hate fishing!
He’s catching all the fish!
This is the third time Daddy had to fix my bait.
What’s happening?
Daddy, help!
Hurry!
Oh my gosh!
Fishing is totally amazing!

Thanks you. Sometimes kids can give you much food for thought with their uninhibited reactions.

The kids are usually so real and true. Priceless until they discover deceit.
