Gone Fishin'







 


  
  











On Labor Day we had a fun fishing day with Grandma and Grandpa Rose.  The kids got a couple of fishing poles for Christmas and have been anxious to use them since then!  Grandpa took us to the perfect spot and we hit the jackpot.  I think we caught 13 or 14 fish in a small amount of time, some were big, and most were small but the kids didn't care a bit.  It was so much fun hanging out with Grandpa and Grandma Rose and Grandpa proved once again that he's a pretty darn good fisherman.  DJ didn't have as much luck but hey, he hasn't been since for a lot of years so we'll cut him some slack:):)  Love ya, honey!  Kaleb Morgan, Kamryn, and Jordyn seemed to genuinely love the fishing experience, Porter and Regan, on the other hand, weren't in to all the worms, slime, fish guts, etc. but I think they still had a good time.  Regan may not have loved catching the fish, but she sure loved chopping their heads off as we were preparing to cook them!:)  Jordyn didn't care to carry the fish on the stick, she thought it was much more fun to hold the slimy thing in her hands.  I think she even took the fish head over to the neighbors when we got home.  Yuck!!!  Maybe she isn't really the girly girl I think she is.  Kami loved holding the worms and wanted to hold the fish in her hands as well and she wasn't about to pass up the opportunity to hold the rod with Grandpa. Porter stuck pretty close to Grandma and I and was happy to suck on the everlasting sucker I offered him. Thanks to Grandma for helping me keep the little ones quiet and entertained which is no small task while you are fishing.  We love you, Grandma and Grandpa!
