Fishing

Last night we took the kids up to the lake for their first fishing experience. I've never been more stressed in my life! Something about a 2 and 3 year old with fishing poles and falling into the water is very unsettling! Granted, if they had fallen in it was just off of the sea wall and into 6 inches of water, but cold and dirty water none the less! I will admit that the shear excitement of Mallory being the first to catch a fish was great! She was absolutely clueless as to what to do but I helped her real it in and she was over the moon! Not long after we caught another one and Michael was claiming it as his own!

Mallory took the trophy for the biggest "spiky" fish. If I knew anything about fish I would tell you what kind it was, but I'm fairly clueless! However, I personally caught the biggest fish of the night and I can tell you, only because Brian told me, that it was a large mouth Bass! Who would have thought. Of course since I wasn't willing to touch the fish I didn't get my photo taken with it. Just know that it was mine!
