Fishing Stories

Well, once again I seem to have dropped the ball when it comes to blogging. Darnit. I’m sorry. This raising kids thing takes up more time than I thought it would when I decided to dip my foot in the childbearing pool. Please forgive me, and try to understand… (Facebook doesn’t help either…that takes a lot of time to update as well.)

July is almost upon us, and we now have 3 camping weekends under our belts for the summer. We’ve managed to get the camper out at least once a month since April and finally feel like we have the set up and tear down orchestrated into a fine tuned and efficient performance.

On the latest trip R1 was allowed to use live bait on her fishing pole for the first time. Last year we practiced casting with only a weight on the end of her line. This year was a different story altogether.

Ryan, Dad, Len and R1 all went down to the lake to fish. R1 was borrowing a Barbie Princess fishing pole from Ryan’s “collection” of fishing poles. They baited her hook and she cast out her line. Not 2 minutes go by and she ends up with the catch of the day. Her first Bass.

Since we weren’t sure of the limits on size, we put the fish back, just to be safe, but she will forever remember her first fish!

With her imagination and luck, she’ll be telling fishing stories with the best of them very soon. Keep checking the blog for updates!
