Fishing is Fun!!

Last weekend, Brian and I had a little getaway at a homeschool conference. We stopped at Bass Pro Shop on the way back (his idea!) and bought the kids their own fishing poles since they had been requesting to go. Brian took them to practice casting and then to do the real thing today. I kept Nathan home since I couldn't imagine what he could possibly do for that long that wouldn't scare me. :)

So, they went out to Aunt Lisa's house, which was a treat in itself, and then on to a pond. Papa Lee, Uncle Jeff and his friend Beth, and Aunt Lisa and her 2 girls joined Brian and the 3 older ones.
Enjoying their time at Aunt Lisa's house.  You can see below that they are on a death trap, otherwise known as a trampoline.
Let the fishing begin!


Everybody caught something!


The kids had a blast and were thoroughly worn out when they got back.  They found frogs, clams, fish, and tadpoles! The bummer was that Samuel managed to burn his thumb on charcoal from the cook out before they headed home.  Once we got past that trauma, he was as excited as Hunter and Lily!!
