Father–Sons Fishing Trip

All Tucker wanted for his birthday was to go camping & fishing!

So, we took the boy camping (in a tiny little “cabin”) & boy did they fish . . .

And let me just tell you what these boys did.  The evening before their fishing trip, Tim & the oldest 2 boys went out on the kayaks (each in their own WITH life jackets).  After being gone for about 30-45+ minutes a wind gust of about 30mph unexpectedly blew in from out of nowhere.  Talk about a scared mama!  I tried not to, but I kinda freaked out.  I trust Big Daddy & I know he has fabulous survival skills & a wonderful dad, but I just could see him being able to stay with both the boys in the wind & I was so afraid Tucker wasn’t strong enough to control his kayak in the wind.  So, I did what crazy mama’s do & sent people looking for them!  After an hour of “freaking out” they were found, safe & sound – pulling their kayaks on land.  Although, Big Daddy assured me they weren’t lost, they sure were happy mama sent help!!
