Fishing and Friends

This past weekend, we had friends come to town and stay the weekend with us.  They brought their youngest, Justin, who is 14 years old.  Collin and Justin have gotten along really well in the past BUT the 5 year age gap could start being a factor now that Justin is almost in high school. 


Collin was excited for them to arrive.  When they finally did, it took him a little while to warm up to Justin. He did follow him around like a shadow and hung on him at times.  I wondered if Justin would grow tired of this fast, but he did not.  After dinner, the boys played games together and watched a movie before it was time for Collin to go to bed.


The next day after Collin attended an Odyssey performance training session, the boys road their bikes around the neighborhood.  They came back after they found a good place to fish.  Justin was prepared because he brought his fishing pole.  Collin had never fished before but was interested in trying.  While away, Justin would send text messages updating how they were doing.  He said that Collin caught a perch and he caught a small bass.  That's great they were having some good luck.  Justin also said they saw a snake and he wondered if it was poisonious.  He described a coral snake....glad the boys decided not to mess with this poisonous snake!

Collin's perch - first fish he ever caught.  Awww......
