| Violet has been asking for days to go fishing, so we promised her after Lucy got home from school today we would go. This afternoon Ray and Violet dug up worms for each of them in their bug jars. Our pond no longer allows fishing, so we made a few calls and found what Shawn now calls our, "Honey Hole." Within minutes of Violets line in, she had a fish. The kids were screaming with excitement. Minutes later Lucy caught one too. We got Ray's pole ready, which Daddy brought home today for his first fishing trip, it is less than three feet long and was only $9.00 but within seconds that thing had a fish on it too, and it wasn't little! Smallest pole caught the big ones! Ray was so excited, it was awesome. The kids continued to reel in fish, it was almost comical, Shawn and I couldn't keep up taking them off. After an hour we had caught over a dozen fish, worms were gone and the queen of the lake ate Lucy's hook, so we called it a day. What a refreshing unexpected nice family time, no cell phones(except when I took pictures,) no television and no fancy games...Just a container of worms and three fishing poles and our kids were beaming with happiness. These are the moments :) | | |
