Fly Fishing School

Morley had the opportunity to attend a 2 day fly fishing school this week. It was the annual conclave in Longmont, CO for the FFF (Federation of Fly Fishers). They left at 5:30 Tuesday morning for an 8 a.m. class. Morley was pretty excited to attend, but I think Matt may have been more excited for him. He remembers attending a similar event with his dad when he was Morley's age. Matt gave Morley his own fly rod and reel for his 8th birthday and fishes whenever he can.

They were gone for 2 days and stayed with our friends in Firestone, CO. They had a lot of fun together and Morley scored an awesome shirt and hat. I think I was finally able to peel the shirt off of him on Friday. EW! I love that he loves the outdoors and enjoys spending time with his Dad. What I love even more is that Matt takes the time to schedule fun events to participate in with his boys.
Pin It!
