Gone Fishin....




So for Brock's birthday..... way back at the end of March when asked what he wanted he said that what he really wanted was to go fishing..... in a boat! So for his birthday Greg and I got him a little pole and planned to go out fishing. However like life always seems to do ... it got busy! We were either sick, out of town or some other craziness was happening. Anyway, last weekend we finally went out fishing in a boat. We had a wonderful day! The funny thing though... we didn't catch not one fish! Brock was so excited, we woke up early and got McDonald's for breakfast per Brock's request and then went to a lake about 20 min. from our house that rents nice little boats. We tooled around and Brock sang row, row, row your boat while he used the oar to help row the boat (every time the motor went off the oar went in). He thought that that was the second best part of the day! The first part.....swimming! It was a beautiful day! The weather was warm and the lake wonderfully cool. We pulled up into this gorgeous little cove and got off to run on the beach. Next thing we knew Brock was in the water first he was up to his knees and then he was up to his waist next thing we knew he was asking if he could get all the way in. Soon he was out swimming all around and having a grand ol' time! It was really nice to get to spend some quality time with just one of the kids. And Brock was so excited to go out fishing....on a boat. As for fish......ah who needs fish anyway?!?

There must be something about 5 year olds and fishing! I never knew. Looks like a lot of fun.

That looks like fun! K is campaigning to get a boat because she loves fishing. I don't think she'll have to try to hard to convince her father. :-)
