Gone Fishing!

 One of my favorite memories of my grandpa was the first time he took me fishing. I am a chatterbox and I remember him telling me I needed to be quiet. I remember thinking hmmm… I wasn’t sure I was going to like this activity! Once that first fish grabbed my line, I was hooked..hahaha  yes, I know cute play on words..but I really did enjoy it, because I felt a sense of accomplishment. When I was growing up, my dad used to go to Canada every year on a fishing trip with one of his best friends. My dad loved fishing, it was his escape from the stresses of his day-to-day life. He enjoyed that time with nature,the peace and quiet and time away from life’s pressures .I loved when he went because he’d bring me moccasins and I have always loved moccasins. Now as an adult I truly understand why he loved it!

When Peyton decided he was interested in fishing I was really happy! I think it’s a great activity for him to get involved in. Peyton is quiet so he has that going for him… haha.. he has patience and doesn’t get easily discouraged. Fishing is a marathon sport not a sprint. I can remember my older kids competing in fishing competitions and telling them, it may take hours before they caught anything. They weren’t always happy with that, but it taught them patience. Peyton has always loved fish, when he was younger he had an aquarium, he really loved it. He named each of his fish and took great care of them. Aquariums are very calming for him. One of his favorite times ever, was when we went to the Houston Aquarium, as guests of Tilman Fertitta. We even have a blog about our day on the website. Peyton loved learning about so many different types of fish. Every time we go somewhere and they have an aquarium, he has to stop and spend time looking at the fish.

I think fishing will be great for Peyton, because it’s a sport that is individually based, but can also be with others. Because it’s a “quiet sport” he won’t feel pressured to carry on conversations, this will be a stress relief for him. He loves fish, so he will also enjoy learning about the types of fish he’s fishing for. Being an outdoor sport is also a big positive. Peyton doesn’t always feel comfortable outside and this will help.Finally,one of the best things about fishing is it is calming, and that’s such a positive for him. We are super excited about this new “adventure” I’m sure we will have future blogs, as well as social media postings about his fishing adventures! Hope you will follow along!🎣🎣

Peyton and I follow an Awesome guy on social media…he does utube videos, about fishing! Peyton loves watching his videos and learns from them. I even watch them, and really enjoy them.
