First Fishing Trip.

So!  The post I was working on for today didn't work out at all.  It happens sometimes.  But!  In the interest of blogging more how about I just throw up some pictures from taking the kids fishing on Lake Erie?

I figured no one who reads this blog would ever object to a few Lake Erie pictures.

We took them out on my dad's boat last night.  The big kids have been on the boat before but never actually fishing.  They've been looking forward to this for weeks  Practicing with their little Disney themed fishing rods in the back yard - pretty sure those exist specifically to sucker in grandpas.  Also it was this little one's first boat trip ever:

So it was a big event.  We were surrounded by rainstorms so the trip didn't last long.  But as soon as the Dude had a line in he had his first fish:

 He didn't quite know what to make of it:

 Other than it was awesome:

 He immediately started teasing his sister "well I got a fish..."  She responded almost immediately:

our dog is not impressed.

With a double header:

 Then we had to pull up the lines and scurry in to beat the rain.

Which was very dramatic for the kids (but not really for us at all) and makes for a great story for them to tell.

How many creatures can I fit on my lap at one time?

I think they had a fun first fishing trip!

All of the pictures (about half of which I took) came from my dad's camera.  Thanks, dad!
