Hiya friends! And most bodacious Steemians i haven’t met yet.
Every couple of months lately i have been grabbing Charlie up and heading over to my buddy’s house for a sleepover. My buddy has a son also, and though the boys are several years apart they get along really well and get to gorge on “screen-time” when we all hang out: the lads play games and me and my pal Morris chef it up in the kitchen and smoke Bob Marley joints.
Check out his stunning view from the roof deck:
It’s a sweet house and just blocks away from the Jericho Sailing Centre. On friday night we went down to the pier that extends out from right beside the Centre and whipped out a fishing rod and joined the fun:
There were a lot of people fishing and a LOT of herring being caught!
Charlie was digging it!!!
Even when we caught one herring and then used it for bait...we were fishing for shark!
Here’s Charlie and Morris:
And check out the whale they caught!!! (Okay, okay, it’s a mudshark) but pretty awesome to haul this prehistoric monster out of the briny deep while everyone crowded around to look.
We threw it back of course, but had a fun time goofing around on the dock, and it was cool to take Charlie out for his first fishing trip. On Saturday we all went swimming up at UBC and then returned to the Sailing Centre for fish and chips — one of the best patios in town (although not the best fish n chips 😜
Carlito even got an ice-cream cone ‘cause he’s such a good boy! 😍😍😍
And although he didn’t camp out with us overnight, i’d be remiss if i didn’t include some pics of mini-me 🤩
I tell yaz friends, being a dad is a lot of work and requires a huge amount of attention, but the rewards run deep! Seeing my boys with smiles on there faces and hearing their laughter is the very best thing ever!!!
I think the whole fam is going to Kits Pool today — the largest outdoor pool in N. America — so i should have some more Van-Glam photos and some cute kiddy-winks pics.
I hope yer all having a great Pirate Sunday out there!
Cheers! from @thedamus
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Wow..beautiful
Thank you for your continued support of SteemSilverGold
Give a heads up for next time and i'll get Precious to hook you a whale filled with booty :)
ps, great pictures. The tiny shark at the end looks deadly on a mini scale
I wonder how many people in the world can say:"The first time I went fishing with my dad, I caught a shark". Nobody will believe, but you have the photos...
I love it Ron! By the time he starts gr. 1 that mudshark will be a Great White!!!
😜👍
Beautiful photos! Thank you for sharing your fishing day. It must be so pretty out there! ENJOY, my friend! You are so deserving with the way you dote on Charlie. When Charlie gets older, he will be bragging to his friends about his first fishing trip with his Dad. Cheers, @thedamus!
Thx saver! I tell him i’m not his butler, but he’s got me pegged 😜👍
Awesome, nothing like a evening fishing with the kids!!👊👊
Cheers willi! It was a fun night 👊😎
I like where I live but Van totally wins the pnw. Or in your case the pse. 😉
It’s our San Diego! 🤣🤣🤣
🌞 😎 🏝 🍹 🌺
Well, that's just a great day! And yeah, a heck of a view from the deck! Would be great at night as well I suspect
Ahh man... it’s nice up there on a summer’s eve!
🤩🤩🤩
Heavy D and the boyz! Fun times making memories my friend, beautiful country and nice pics of such 😎👍
Fish heads, fish heads, rolly polly fish heads
Fish heads, fish heads, eat them up yum..
That song is in my head after I saw the 🐟
Cheers GA, we’ve got it good living on the coasts
😎👍
Troll the Rolex...
I guarantee the sharks will bite your arm off and spit out the rest!!!
Lol! That’s one sea dweller that likes to be above the waves 😜
Sounds like you guys had a lot of fun and there were some great views, but how many people can say they catch sharks. Enjoy the pool with the family TD!
Cheers ks! Good times man!!! 😁👍👍
How cool to spend time together like that. Your boy will never forget catching a shark his first time fishing. Can't wait to see the big ass pool.
Charlie was freaking when it was flippping all over the dock! 🤣🤣🤣
This is exquisite as you got some bonding time with the boys and got to teach them how to fish. Lucky boys! African parents need to imbibe such culture as it will help them become closer to their kids while creating a friend in them.
Shower them with love and attention is how we do it 😁😍👍
That looks like it was such a good time. And what a perfect view as well.👍⚡️💰🗡💀⚓️
Great spot to chill out fo real 😜👍
Wow! @thedamus
You we're able to catch a handful of steemit Minnows
And that second fish is a steemit Whale
What a great boost would that be to your account.
Congrats and thanks for sharing!
I will also go fishing someday and will try to catch more steemit fishes...
Use good bait and have the right line and i’m sure you’ll catch a schooling 🤘😎
Will have that in my fishing guideline....
Thanks for the tip
Seems like good times were had brother.
Always fun, I remember some of my first fishing trips on the lake we lived on. Good times.
😁👍👍

The use of traveling is to regulate imagination with reality, and instead of thinking of how things may be, see them as they are.
Really fantastic. Keep it up. ^^
