Each of the last three years I have taken off Spring Break while my kid is out of School. This year again we had plans for a few days of traveling and fishing together. This is truly a blast to spend this much time with my kid. I let my kid choose where we go and this year it was Bullards bar, The Delta and Lake Berryessa. A few miles in three days,but here we go. My kid does not want to bring a tent or rent a room along the way. She wants to pack a ton of food and Truck Camp. “Pillows ,blankets and food is all we need Dad.” Ill admit this fits my style perfectly. She did ask we BBQ some hot dogs from the tail gate of the truck. Some guy will be happy someday! My girl at age 10 slept the first 2 days on the boat almost all day, this has never happened before. Usually she eats and eats and eats and then talks up a late winter storm all day! She needed the Spring Break too! the third day a very well rested Daughter was back on track, she ate like crazy all day and the talking storm began. It was quite funny to hear all her ideas as her mind wandered while on out on the lake. Finally fisher girl had showed up. Taking the pole from me after each hookset until Dad said sorry this ones for me! She then wanted to bed fish for some Smallmouth we found at Lake Berryessa, now this was funny to see her miss the bite for 30 minutes straight. “Then she says Dad” “show me again how to do this” And wow what a quick learner she was! Wack, Bam, Boom 3 lbers were coming to the boat as Lil Howe was wackin them! After a 5 minute flurry she says to me ” im good now Dad you get em”. On our trip my kid took many cool pictures since at 10 she understands the I Phone better than Apple does! She wanted to share some with you! Other photo’s provided by BHQ.
Take the time to spend days with your kid each year and get to know them alot better before they grow up too fast!
