Mom was EXTREMELY encouraging of having Genesee join the boys at fishing camp this summer. And although Genesee had a blast and I enjoyed having my little sidekick in the boat, I think mom had ulterior motives… When we returned home, we found Mom kicked back in the recliner, sipping hot chocolate, and watching Netflix.

Someone once said, “I don’t go fishing to escape my life, I go fishing to live my life.”

Apparently, mom lives her life by sending us fishing, so she can reunite with her long-lost, peaceful weekend mornings. She said it’s been nine years since she’s seen them.

Well played, Mom. Well played.
