Proud Dad Moment

For the past few days, I have been on Thanksgiving break and not had too many responsibilities. Most of my schoolwork was done for the semester and I have been enjoying some free time. Yesterday, I cleaned up my fly tying bench for the first time since I got here and then proceeded to watch some tying videos. Emma either spotted what I was watching or simply came over because of the crazy techno music playing (thanks Fly Fishing the Ozarks). Regardless, she started watching the videos with me and kept asking to watch more. As a father, this made me really excited so tonight we took her interest to action and she tied her first two flies. Her only request was that they would have "rainbow colors". I put a variety of supplies onto the table and let her call the shots. Hopefully I'll have a little tying buddy with me now from here on out.
