First Father Son Fishing Trip (Hunter and I went too)

So Father's Day weekend was extra special for David I think because he took Austin fishing for the first time. We went Saturday afternoon (yes pretty much at the hottest part of the day) fishing at a pond in my parents neighborhood. We first had to stop at Gander Mountain so the boys could get Austin a fishing pole. David had bought him one but he said he wouldn't be able to cast it till he was older and needed to get him a different one. So when they came out of course they got more than a pole. He got Austin a tackle box and he said Austin really liked the bobbers (see photo and video below for proof of this) so they had to buy two boxes of those. I must say I am so glad that Hunter and I got to tag along on this trip because I know soon enough it is going to be one of those BOY BONDING things. We weren't there but for maybe 5 minutes before Austin got his first (baby) catfish! So exciting! We left soon after that but went back again on Sunday (Father's Day) and were lucky again and caught a baby perch. Enjoy the pictures and videos below capturing the memories of The Colschen's First Father Son Fishing Trip.

(I love the look on Austin's face. Haha. It looks like he is scared (he wasn't). He will love this one day.)
