PC: Tim Watkins
When I'm reminiscing on our Wisconsin vacations, this photo sometimes pops into my head. It may not look like much from first glance, but it really tells a lot.
First, it portrays a typical day on the lake. It's mid afternoon, calm, and hot. I'm dock fishing and Nathaniel is coming back from kayak fishing. But there's more going on here. You see Nathaniel is in long sleeves and has a big goofy sunhat on. Normally he fishes shirtless, but the sun did him in pretty well so he's covered up in the heavy heat. That kayak he's sitting in, it was hauled out here on the roof of his 2012 Ford Focus...stick shift. Google a the car and picture how obnoxious that looks. Him and I are just shootin' the breeze. Literally.
But the real reason I'm including this photo is for something in it that may not easily be noticed. If you take a careful look at the tree to the left of me, you'll see a wild Stephen poking at something in it. You see not long before we left for Wisconsin, Stephen decided to buy himself a new toy. A drone. This day was the first time he flew it all week. And the one tree he really could've crashed it into...he did. And this photo catches him reaching up and trying to poke it free with a stick. Just the thought of this photo cracks me up. That's why it makes this list.
