Fishing with the Boys







I would be lying if I didn't admit that part of me is sad for Mitch that he doesn't get to have a son, and really he is okay with it. He has said all along that 3 girls would be fine...we know how to do girls. And he LOVES his girls, so this made me super happy that he got to take 2 of his girls fishing this weekend. We knew that fishing would be a fun thing to do when Grandpa Dave was here, we just had no idea it would be SO HOT! 

Mitch and Grandpa went and bought bait and Grandpa even grabbed a second Barbie fishing pole for Bug...Leah got one for her 2nd birthday a couple years back. So two pink fishing poles and a pink bucket walked out the door off to catch some fish. They didn't go far, just down to the lake dock house. Mitch had taken Leah fishing there before and had good luck catching Sun Fish, so he figured it was worth another shot. Well, the heat must be getting to the fish too. Mitch said that Leah caught 3 and Bug caught 1. Leah was discouraged, but by the time she was on fish number three she hooked it and reeled him in on her own, YAY LEAH!!! She wasn't even scared to hold up her prize catch...Bug on the other hand didn't want to touch. When they got home, it was obvious that they had been handling fish. Their hands needed a good scrubbing. I'm just happy that Daddy will have some buddies to help partake in some of his favorite activities!
