Just a Great Day Fishin'

Porter and Matt recently spent a great day together at a local fishing hole! It was so much fun to hang out and wait for some fish to bite. Check out the brim Porter caught! On his 'Nemo' pole none the less!

I love this picture because it reminds me of a story that my brother, David, shared with me recently at a family Sunday dinner. He was telling us that Pres. John Adams and his son Pres. John Quincy Adams always wrote in a diary at night. One entry was about taking his son fishing. The father felt that the day spent fishing was a complete waste of his time and wrote just that in his nightly entry. The son also wrote in his diary of the experience. He had a totally different take of the day. He wrote that the day spent fishing with his father was the best time of his life. For years, in his diary, he referred back to that day as the greatest day!

As you can see from these pictures, Porter and Matt are not at a fancy fishing resort. They are simply out on the draught stricken banks and having a great day, just spending time together! Oh, how I love my guys!!!

Here is Porter reeling in his catch with all his strength! It must be a whopper of a fish!

What a beauty of a brim! The best part was letting him back into the water to grow some more!
