Chester Report

[Belasko]

Ever since I started taking him at about 6 months old he gets the lifejacket on as soon as we're out of the car. For him it's automatic (I'm still working on it for me[blush]). It really paid off last year at Ririe. Was on the dock and he went to grab his fishing pole which an eyelet had caught on his back pack. As he tugged I saw what was coming, put my rod down and just as I reached over the rod popped loose and he took 2 steps before catching his heel on the edge of the dock and in he went. He bobbed up w/ legs and arms churning, headed for the boat ramp. Just reached in, grabbed the jacket and pulled him onto the dock. He was ticked as all get out, but I was extremely thankful that I'd had the forethought to put the life vest on him!
