Independence day means being able and free to celebrate with my family. These lovelies fishing by the house today was so much fun.

To all of the Americans and American military veterans

Happy Independence Day to all the American AH members, American military veterans, (and the French....whose ancestors aided in America's victory over England).

3 Cuties.
Gotta ask: (of the day)
Which one caught the first fish?
Which one caught the biggest fish?
Which one caught the most fish?

Obviously dad didn't get to fish.
Baiting hooks. Getting lines out of those weeds and taking fish off the hooks. And grilling, and prepping the backyard fireworks.

From side I wish you guys and girls a happy Independence Day as well

God Bless America. Happy Independence Day.

From the musical 1776. The ending of this song resonated with me as a 8 year old kid in 1972.

First fish - dad (littles don't start until someone else does)
Biggest fish - grandpa
Most fish - dad (spent the longest time fishing)
All of them caught at least two or three
Not much maintenance time - mostly just talking and smiling and touching the icky fish.....
Great fun watching cousins bond and grow up together.
It was fun listening to dad tell stories of how he learned to fish from his dad and grandpa.

Now that's quality family time, creating family tradition, and the future generation of outdoorsman...ah outdoors women.....and perhaps passing along some family folklore of the "big one that got away".
