Stay tuned as his mother is eagerly anticipating our "diamond" anniversary next year. What should I tell her? What would you do?
Your son may be 4, but youth sports loom on the horizon and very quickly they will consume more of your free time than fishing. A happy wife is a better aid to successful fishing than a boat. It is a lot of work caring for several small boys and letting her know you realize and appreciate it means a lot.

I've got a 10ft Lowes Jon boat you can borrow for a few years if you want. Annoyingly small, but it will get you and a coupla small kids around a pond.
