Guest Blog: Nature Dave Meets Nature Boy

By Elaine Chase

This year marks our 2nd Annual Chase Family Reunion at Tyler Place. And yes, we are hooked and booked for next year, 2011!!!


Speaking of hooked, that is exactly what our 6 year old son is when it comes to fishing and nature exploration with Nature Dave. Blake has always been interested in the outdoors and Nature Dave has helped to foster this interest, especially when Nature Dave nicknamed Blake,” Nature Boy”, this year during the pond exploration field trip. Blake’s enthusiasm was contagious!


After our 1st year at Tyler Place, Blake spoke of the “2lb small-mouth bass” that he caught until we returned to Tyler Place this year. Now he has marked a page in his photo album that contains his favorite photograph, a photograph of himself with the “biggest catfish ever!” Coming in a close second is his Dad, Chris, with a small-mouth bass.

Blake enjoyed these fishing adventures with Nature Dave so much that he would beg his Grandpop to take him to the dock to go fishing before heading to the Clubhouse. Luckily Grandpop is an early riser! In the following photograph, sharing his enthusiasm are his cousins, Natalie and Ella.

Thank you Tyler Place and Nature Dave for reeling us in each year for awesome times and everlasting memories!
