Kevin caught his first fish on a fly rod this afternoon. We had a great time at Birch Creek, a nice little creek an hour or so from Rexburg. He whined a little bit, got his line tangled more than once, and got a few slivers and scratches on his legs, but he persevered and was so proud when he landed a pretty little rainbow trout. Of course the camera was in the car. When we got home he said "Dad, I'm so glad we went fishing together, I had a great time". It was a small, but tender gesture, which I made it all worthwhile.
Anyway, Jon met up with us after a bit and I had him snap this picture of us near the car.

That is a fantastic feeling when a son shares something like that with you isn't it?
That's a cute picture to go along with a tender moment
Way to go Kev....Grandpa bartholomew will also be so proud of you. You should call and tell him!
Great! Did you use your fishing pole Grandpa gave you? Too bad you didn't get a picture of the fish! Special memories.
He did use Grandpa's fishing pole. I love that picture!
Lucky Kevin/Lucky Darren...this photo is a classic. Good job, both of you!
Yeah!
