Last weekend The Fam journey up to Madison, GA to attend the birthday party of one of Ridge's friends. The party was at a family farm which had a little bass pond on it. A couple of the adults were fishing off the dock, so I grabbed a rod and made a couple of casts. Ridge immediately came running up to me yelling, "I want to do it! I want to do it."
The cool thing is that Ridge is only two and to my knowledge has never really seen anyone fish before. But he loved it. I would cast the line out for him and then hand it over. He would then sit there quietly and reel it in very carefully with the most focused, intense look I have ever seen on his face. We didn't catch any fish, but he didn't care. He had a blast. I think I have fisherman on my hands. Over Easter, I hope to take him up to Ray's pond and see if we can catch a trout. If he does I think he'll be hooked for life. (pardon the pun)
