Gone Fishing
The boys have been begging to go fishing for a while now. So Thursday evening, we made it happen! We took the boys down to {the heavily stocked} Bass Lake. We baited our hooks with HOT DOGS and began catching fish every 2-3 minutes. Not joking. It was a riot! So many fish to help unhook and release back into the water kept Bron and I hopping. I think the experience will forever spoil the little boys' expectations of fishing! But nonetheless, now that I know how to tie a hook to the line, we'll be back at least weekly all summer long.
Pictures from the boys' first real fishing adventure:
^^Levi's first catch of the day.^^
^^Levi's happy dance. He's the fishing king. "Oh yeah! Oh yeah! Ooohhh!"
^^Levi came over to touch Jed's big catch! Haha.^^
^^Jed getting the hook out himself.^^
^^I love Jed's face here! Hahaha. "Mmmm, this fish is too small. But I'm proud of it anyway."
^^Attaching the hot dog bait.^^
^^Catch and release! Ugh. I don't particularly like touching the fish. I gave that job to the boys.^^
There's a legend at the lake that the kids all share, about a fish named Big Wally whom lives under the dock. Well, I think Jed caught him! He was over-the-moon excited and so proud of himself.
