"Daddy, The Fish Bit Me!"

What started off at 8:00 a.m as a simple father, son fishing trip turned out to be much more than that for the guys. Clint wanted to spen a little quality time with Collin, so he decided to take him on his first fishing trip. After the diaper bag was packed, the life jacket was found, and the spiderman fishing rod was placed in the truck the "men" headed off for the first of many adventures they will share together. They went to Wal-Mart for supplies, then headed to Doddsville to pick up the boat. When they arrived in Doddsville, they found their tackle box was not in the boat. They turned around to head for Micah's to get the tackle box. It has been left there when they cleaned up the boat. Micah and Austin decided to join them for the fishing trip. Back to Wal-Mart for Austin a fishing rod. Now they are ready for the lake. They head for P.D. Lake, which is located in Schlatter, MS. Clint and his father fished on this lake together many times. After they finally get in the lake and begin their day of fishing, guess who showed up? You guessed it, the mommies!! Of course Heather & I would not miss this photo opportunity. We need them for our scrapbooks. Anna went along with us for the ride. While taking the photos Clint managed to get Collin's rod hung in a tree and some how it ended up at the bottom of P.D. Lake. Being the awesome dad Clint is, he stripped down to his boxers and dove in to get it. All was right with the world at this point. The mommies and big sister (Anna) left and headed back to Cleveland. A while later, my cell phone rings. When I answer I hear, "Mommie, the fish bit me." I can not imagine what has happened, but he asks for me to kiss it and put a band aid on it. I assured him when he got home I would kiss it and make it all better. I later find out Collin got a fish hook stuck in his hand. However, I did kiss it and put a band aid on it. Again, all is right with the world. The boys (both small and large) enjoyed a day of fishing and quality time together. Collin assured his daddy he would go fishing with him again, even if the fish do bite!
