coolest kid in the class

The wind has been blowing so much lately that this morning, since there weren't any strong gusts, Colby decided to take Reed and Blue fishing. I went to take Reed out of school early and he happened to be eating lunch right then. Can I just say that he was the coolest kid in his class when they found out that he was leaving to go fishing with his dad. All the other kids were begging to go with him. Reed was pretty excited also. They fished for a couple of hours. Long enough for both Reed and Blue to each reel in a 'whopper/beauty' (it changes every time you ask them). When they got home, Colby told me that it is getting easier taking them fishing, that he doesn't have to work as hard. My thought was that maybe the boys were learning to cast better and not get the line tangled. But what Colby meant was that he showed Reed how to maneuver the trolling motor and Colby just took a quick snooze in the front of the boat with his hat over his face. Colby must have really fallen asleep because the next time he looked up, Reed, sitting at the motor with a bag of chips and a soda, had gotten stuck in the weeds near the bank! I don't think Reed was too concerned about being stuck. He was just having a good time with a bag of chips and a soda all to himself!
