Kong owns the pond behind its building and apparently it has fish in it. Well, we saw no evidence of that today when I took the boys across town to Kong in the afternoon because Warren had promised to take them fishing in the Kong pond.
The boys didn't have school today (teaching training day) and so we met up with Warren at 4 pm and attempted to fish. Warren was very optimistic and wore his fishing gear perhaps to convince the non-existent fish that he is a serious fisherman and they should bite. Needless to say, there were no takers.
The pond is quite nice and would be much nicer if its shoreline wasn't littered with old cigarettes, soda bottles, plastic wrappers and of course the odd Kong toy.
The boys enjoyed themselves even though Jordan slipped and scraped his leg down a rock. To add insult to injury, he caught his lure in his hair and was not impressed with himself. From then on Warren had to cast his line for him and he ducked down each time to avoid being punctured by the hook.
Whenever we go somewhere, Cullen collects and gives me 'flowers' (usually weeds) and its so sweet that he does that. He has the kindest heart. So if Cullen gives you a bunch of weeds (roots and all), know that its love that motivates him and not his attempt at ridding the yard or field of unwanted & pesky plants.
