The stories of fishing with Papa came up a few years ago and that’s when the kids finally realized what Papa was up too…it STILL cracks us up =)

JOURNALING:
I’m not sure when Papa decided you were old enough to go fishing, but one year he took you and Meg to the pier in San Clemente. He showed you how to bait your hook, lower your line into the water , wiggle the pole up and down to attract the fish and then to sit and be patient to wait for the fish to bite. Grandmama & I figured the novelty of this adventure would last about 20 minutes and then you’d want to hit the beach again. But you two sat there for hours waiting to catch a fish. It seemed like every time you were ready to call it quits you would get a nibble on your line and you would be soooooooooo excited and then even more determined to catch one. Little did you know that Papa was standing above you, wiggling your fishing lines for you! Grandmama & I tried so very hard NOT to giggle, because you two were so determined! You two did end up catching a couple of fish, but that wasn’t the highlight of the day. Sometimes it’s not about catching the fish, it’s about sharing the experience with the ones you love.
