So he invited his 5 best buddies and spent the day fishing and having great fellowship. These boys are the best friends you could wish your son to have---true gentlemen, filled with faith and fun in their hearts! It was a joy for me to watch these young boys--boys about to turn into men---to watch them laugh and tell fish stories together. It didn't even seem to bother them that they didn't catch any fish. They did, however, manage to catch two turtles with their bare hands. Crazy boys! Girls would never think of such a thing!
Joseph received great presents that fit him to the tee: fishing lures (of course!), a hunting shirt (perfect for his 1st year of rifle hunting), a model airplane, a water canteen in his favorite color (St. Louis Cardinals red), and the boxed set of the Lord of the Rings trilogy (both the books AND the DVDs...Jospeh's a Tolkein junkie like his mother, so I was more than pleased to buy these for him).
The party ended with cupcakes topped with Swedish fish candy.
Life just doesn't get any better than this boys! I pray that you treasure these simple times and these friendships forever!
