As a little girl, I was always fascinated with going fishing.
So much that I begged my dad enough times that we finally bought our licenses and went when I was a teen. We didn't catch anything, but I do remember sitting on the dock in the rain. I remember that my daddy took me. :)
So last year I took the boys about this time in August. Link stayed in the stroller some of the time, other times I was wrangling him and putting worms on hooks all in one. We caught several little fish that we released back, then Kaitlyn and Eddie joined us and we got to take the boys out on some kayaks on the water. :)
But on this particular day, last Saturday, I was un-usually tired... I tried laying down for a nap while Link was napping. But sleep wasn't coming, and I suddenly had the thought to take the boys fishing and I completely didn't feel tired anymore! Ha!
So I snuck around and gathered our gear while Lincoln continued to nap. And we headed down to one of the little fishing lakes in our county. Tyrel was occupied with prior plans this evening, so it was just me and the boys... me trying my best to figure out what bait the fish might bite!
They caught a little salamander first :)
Rhett was all into the fishing this year and loved doing it himself!
Sadly, he didn't even hook anything. But we sure enjoyed the outing!
