Before School Starts
Half Day Trip on August 11, 2022

I took my 9-yr old son and 14-year old daughter on a “before school starts” fishing trip. The kids had an awesome time, and it was a great experience. It was all about making memories for my kiddos! Thanks to Mr. Rivera for accommodating our requests. It was a great experience!
