Fishing!

So the boys got fishing poles for Easter, wasn't that cool.....don't they look neat hanging on the wall......

So yeah.....we did finally take them fishing..... Here Brent walks Jayden and Max through casting.


You are very lucky to have any pictures for this post. My inclination was to stay home and avoid the whole scene of five boys and five poles all with sharp hooks on the end! I did cave in the end and go, the boys wanted me there after all. Then I even managed to not cover my eyes or hide in the car!!




Here Jayden throws out his line.


He was a happy camper to be fishing finally!




Here is a wide shot of the pond they fished in. We went to our great friend's home and fished out of their pond.


Max shows off his technique. And look I even managed to keep my eyes open again! He stops my heart when he has a fishing pole in his hands!

And of course he was one of the only two who caught a fish that night! Boy was he thrilled! Although Daddy had to take it off the hook and throw it back in, Max wasn't going to touch it!



At the end of the night, Brent got to fish in peace and quiet as the boys all got cold and went indoors.

I'm proud of you for being brave!! We have had our share of fishing mishaps!! A hook in the ear and one in the eyelid, make things real interesting. Russ and my Dad even dumped McKendrie out of the boat and into a 55 degree mountain lake one time. (It was kind of her fault though she was dangling a stick out the back of the boat when Dad unexpectedly turned).
