Ben the Fisher

Ben's new hobby this summer is fishing! We were out at Deanna Rose earlier this summer and Ben begged me to go fishing. Its a pretty basic set up out there-a bamboo pole with a bit of line and a hook and a can of worms. Ben was so very excited-he thought he was hot stuff fishing. We were down to our last few bits of worm when low and behold Ben caught a fish...his very first fish ever! The look on his face was priceless! He had the biggest smile all day! Poor Vince was pretty disappointed he missed Ben's first fish. So he took him to get his very own real fishing pole! Both of them were so excited to come home a try it out in the backyard! There is a small creek that divides our backyard and the 15th hole of the golf course. We have discovered along with the beavers, snapping turtle, ducks and frogs we also have about 10-15 fish. These fish we have come to find out aren't the fancy kind-they are the simple raw hot dog loving kind. Which is right up our alley! Ben loves fishing out back-he would fish morning, noon and night if we let him!
