Gone Fishin'

Shawn, Roanin and I went fishing this last week. Roanin was SO excited -we had been talking it up for a week or so. Shawn even got RoRo his own little Spiderman fishing pole. It turned out to be a lot of fun...although we caught nothing. Roanin didn't seem to mind. The men set up shop.

The best kind of fishing....for minnows in a plastic bag. If only all of life could be this easy.Proudly displaying the fruits of his labor. Look at how Little Man is gripping the minnow in his fist. He did not want that sucker to get away. Daddy is showing him how to put it on the hook.

After a not-so-successful attempt at the lake, we brought the minnows home and put them in the horse's water trough. This is where the cave-man style fishing began. Pia, the cat, decided to get in on the action.

Roanin caught one that he kept calling "broken."

Who can catch the most? So far...they are pretty much equal. I couldn't believe Pia would actually reach in there and grab them. Never underestimate a new mother....

For the next shot...I would like to preface with an explanation that many hugs and kisses were given RIGHT AFTER this innocent picture was taken. Roanin tried to get one up on Pia, and really reached for a particularly fast minnow...and went head first into the water. Shawn pulled him out immediately...but he was not happy.

Poor little fisherman.
