Fishing With Daddy on Father's Day

beautiful

Kenny had a great time fishing (with Sean's Superman pole) and Sean not so much. Fishing takes some patience and Sean has none. Couple the fact that it is unbearably hot, we probably were at the fishing pond for about an hour. Kenny showed Sean the shrimp and worms that were the bait and Sean was afraid of the shrimp, but liked the worms. It truly was beautiful outside. I snapped some pictures of the scenery. We went to Fairview State Park in Madisonville and fished in the Tchefuncte River. Thank God, I bought a life vest for Sean because as I expected he liked to get too close to the water's edge. I had just moved to a shadier spot to watch when I heard Kenny call out that he felt a tug on the line. Lo and behold, Kenny caught a fish on Sean's Superman fishing pole! He landed the fish, but as I was fumbling for my camera, Sean ran over and touched the fish, which knocked it loose from the line and I laughed watching Kenny try to catch the flip flopping fish with his hands. It got away. This made Kenny more determined to catch it again, but after a few tries and when he saw how bored Sean and I were, we called it a day.

We cooled off at home and took our naps and then Kenny grilled steaks (Sean ate his pancakes). At 7pm, Sean finally said what Kenny had been waiting to hear all day, "happy father's day, daddy". Kenny and Sean gave each other a big hug. I think Sean had fun just being with his Daddy and Kenny can now brag that he caught a fish with a Superman pole. Both of my guys are happy!!
