And so son and young grandson left the dessert and came all the way to southeastern Minnesota to visit and go troutfishing. Of course they had to go canoeing on some larger rivers before checking out the spring creeks for fishing
Then there was an invitation to our friends and neighbors Dick and Sharon for supper and a chance to check out Dicks new Ranger.....
Our son, being a biology and chemistry teacher, meant there would be some specimens collected including fireflies and other critters.
We also took some trips to check out other flora and fauna including the much (since I was a youth) modernized St. Paul Como zoo....
I'm sure the highlight for the novice young fly fisherman was catching them which he and his dad did a lot of.....
You catch them, then you have to learn how to clean them. The eat em part comes easy
You are certainly the outdoorsy

ReplyDeleteWonderful! How nice to see dads and sons out in the wilderness together learning, enjoying, and just having FUN! I'm sure these adventures will stick with your grandson forever. LOVE this!
ReplyDeleteHi TB - what a great visit for all of you ... such an interesting time - ne-er a dull moment ... enjoy them being with you - cheers Hilary
ReplyDeleteThe look on your grandson's face tells how excited he is.
ReplyDeleteLovely photographs of son and grandson enjoying the natural environment. Perfect! May it never change.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lucky young man … he gets his love of nature from his proud granddad and is enjoying every minute of it.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad he's learning about cleaning the fish, as well as eating them, which as you say doesn't take much learning. :-)
ReplyDeleteIf smiles say anything, your grandson was having a blast.
ReplyDeleteThat looks like a nice catch! My Minnesota grandsons came to South Carolina to fish in the ocean this summer. Isn't it great to have grandboys around?!!
ReplyDeleteWonderful post!
ReplyDeleteLooks like your Grand got the whole experience! What a fun trip for him! :)
ReplyDeleteNice, great to see our youngers carry on isn't it Ray. Cheers,
