Daddy’s Gone Fishin’

It’s the first day of fishing tomorrow and Mark just left for camp.  What that really means is that they take their fishing poles with them (with no intention on using them until after Monday) while they party with the guys all weekend.  My dad and grandfather did this, as well, so I grew-up assuming that whomever I ended-up marrying would be celebrating this ‘big event’, too!  It’s fun for them and fun for the kids and I, as well.  I always make a big deal out of this weekend and they look forward to hanging-out with Mommy and doing things that we don’t normally do…e.g. eating cereal for supper, having a camp-out of our own in the living room, and going for ice cream multiple times!
