We spent Father’s Day this year out on the lake. Some of our family’s fondest memories are those times spent fishing or cruising the opens waters. The kids and I surprised Daddy this year with a trip out on Lake Minnetonka. We packed our fishing poles, plenty of snacks and even some playdough and bubbles to help occupy Joshua. It was great fun and a great success not only because of the fishing stories we came away with but because Daddy said, “he couldn’t think of a better place he’d rather be.”

Greta catches the biggest fish of the day, while Mommy makes the “biggest commotion” of the day, squealing with delight over the fish Greta caught. It was big folks.

Caleb caught the very first fish of the day!

And they kept getting bigger.

Like Father, like son.

This was the funniest part of the day. Look closely at the fishing pole Mike is holding. It’s Joshua’s “Scooby Doo” pole, it is about 2 feet long and Mike caught this “Whopper” with it, the fish is almost as big as the pole itself! For all of you die hard fishermen out there with fancy poles, you’ve been had, the “Scooby Doo” pole can handle the big ones too!
