Annual Fishing Trip

I took my brother and my mom on a fishing trip to Enid Lake. The U.S. Corps of Engineers hosts a fishing trip at Enid Lake each year for people with disabilities. Volunteers take these people and their families out on the lake for a fun day of fishing with a big cookout following. Some of you may know my brother was in an accident many years ago leaving him paralyzed from about the lower back down and also left him with a traumatic brain disorder. He has been looking forward to this for awhile now and luckily I was able to get away from work in order to take him. Although we got there an hour early we had a blast. The park rangers and volunteers could not have been nicer. They guys that took us out on their boat were top notch. We came away with a nice little cooler full of fish and most of all my brother had a very good day. I don’t think any of those guys and gals will read this but even so I wish to thank every one of them for what they did and continue to do. My brother misses out on a lot of things because of his disabilities so it’s special when something like this comes along. I’ll try to post some pics when i get home.
