Father's Day with the kid(s)

[FishermanTim]

One of my nephews's Cub Scout troop had a fishing derby at Horn Pond in Woburn. My sister asked if I'd like to come along as her "expert" fisherman .
We did manage to catch a few fish, and see a couple of decent ones pulled in by others. They had a cookout with burgers and dogs with chips and watermelon.
They gave each scout a patch for participating and they all got a small prize.
They had one scout that was visiting from Florida. (They had opened the derby up to any troop that wanted to come down.)

They all had a great time as well.

Took the kids swimming at my brothers house and then to a cookout at a friends house on Saturday. Sunday did some sweetwater fishing and the sunnies and LMB were very cooperative. Got a sweet pair of Patriots shorts to go with my "New England's Best Dad" T-shirt from last year. The ex was cool with me keeping them overnight Sunday night so we made S'mores Sunday night.

Great Father's Day!

Got my son out on the boat for his first saltwater fishing trip with dad and gramps yesterday. Wind was miserable and it was too rough to get where we wanted to fish, but we had a blast anyways. My son wasn't bothered by conditions that would have made a lot of people seasick or kept them home. We only saw one other boat out in the time we were on the water. By the end of the day, my son got a sea robin, a fluke and a decent size scup that he's gonna have for dinner tonight. He said it was the best day ever. The best part is that now he wants to go out more with us. I can't wait to get him on his first bluefish or striper.

i said nothing. hang out at home. maybe catch up on some stuff.

she says that we have to do something since its my first father's day.

Hit Michael's Harborside in Newburyport with my father. Tossed back a few and hit the seafood pretty hard. Good time.

my BEST ever started out by fishing my BIGGS producer
in the wee hours of Sunday,,,,,,,,,,coupla ratz and a beauty dawn.

next, my girls and i loaded up and headed for Good Harbor Beach
and Low. first time for my girls to see the Twin Lights!!

we C&R crabs, splish-splashed along the winding tidal river, chased a schoolie in and out of the rox, built sand castles, waded out to Salt Island, lunched on the beach, chased lobster frye, frisbeed, i slept, B dug holes, found her a "private" swimming hole, jumped some waves, drove up the coast for scenic reconn, had dinner at the Fish Shack, walked around the Neck afterwards, went back to see High at the beach, i slept some more, dug toes in the sand, played wave tag, and then home for my straw/black/blue berries compote over warm buttermilk biscuits with a medley of the same berries and some fresh whipped cream for dessert.

it was AWESOME just having a lazy day at the beach~~~

with no agenda, no place to be, and hanging out with
the two people in this world that i LOVE the most!!!

THANKS to my gurls and God,,,,,,,,,,,for i am, TRULY, a Blessed Dad!!

Wife asked me what I would like to do. I knew the kids wanted to go to the beach so that was exactly what I wanted to do. Nothing brings more joy than knowing my kids are having fun. What a great day!
