Preparing Accordingly for your Family Fishing Trip

One of my favorite past times during the summer time with my family is when we would take family fishing trips over a three day weekend such as Labor Day. Everybody was off from school and my parents were away from work and we could all enjoy a nice and relaxing weekend out on the water. One of the best things about our fishing trips is that they were like a small vacation where we could just enjoy our time as a family. We would out get out on the boat, jump in the water, do some fishing, and play with our family dog, Max. I miss those days as a kid when fishing trips were my favorite time of year.

Now that I have grown up and have had my own kids, it has become increasingly more difficult to get out and go fishing the way I used to. My work schedule is very busy, as is my wife’s, and the kids have always got something going on. If it is not football practice and gymnastics it’s soccer and a play-date. I would like to get back to the times when we could simply drop what we were doing and take a fishing trip as a family. Those were much simpler times and I am wishing I still got to do that regularly.

My First and Only Camping Trip

In my wildest dreams, I never thought I would end up on a camping trip out in the middle of the wilderness with lions, tigers, bears and my sons.  Just the three of us and ten other small boys.

 I am not  an outdoor person in any way shape or form.  I cannot climb a tree.  Fishing might as well be an Olympic sport and beyond comprehension.  I am allergic to anything that flies and is in the bee, wasp, yellow jacket or hornet family.  Sun bathing makes me break out in hives.  Ants love to have me for dinner.  I am allergic to poison oak, poison ivy, poison sumac and any other type of outdoor plant that will make someone break out.  And maybe even some that do not.  But my husband died suddenly when my sons were very young.  Trying to be both Mom and Dad suddenly motivated me to say yes all too often.

When my sons wanted to join boy scouts, I said yes.  When no one volunteered to be the scoutmaster, I said yes to being drafted as the den mother.  Little did I know what lie ahead.  I had no idea that camping would be part of the deal.  The thought of me in the woods with large live animals was appalling.  Waiting for the movie was simply not an option.  This was not going to be pleasant.
