Great song, and I dont mean the part about fishing.
One of hte main reasons I encouraged my sons to join and stay in Cub/Boy Scouts. Sure there were others around, however we had lots of memories together. I made sure the Troop camped every month of the year, except for December. December we had a lock-in and called it junk night. We let them bring thier electronics/candy/etc., junk that was banned from the campouts. Yes we camped in the winter, and had cabins available for those who wished to sleep in them. We also did a High Adventure one week a year, usually a 50 mile backpacking trip, or Canadian fishing trip. I also spent a week at Summer Camp. I spent both of my two weeks vacation with them at Scouting functions every year.
I gave up an executive career lifestyle for my kids. I know they see that, and they are taking steps to be around for thier kids. Even though my kids are 23 and 27, both married and now in thier professional careers, I still tell them I love them and that I am proud of them. They still give me hugs when we part ways. Im proud of my sons, both are Eagle Scouts, one is an Lawyer, and the other is an Electrical Engineer. Both married great women, one a Tax Accountant, and the other a Nurse, respectively. I like to believe it all stems from my example, and taking the time to be with them.
My favorite photo is the two of them holding a stringer of 25-30 6" long perch when they were 7 and 3 years old. Both have smiles from eye to ear.
It ain't about the fishing.
