Florida provided a beautiful weekend this past weekend and we had our eyes set on a trip to the beach….not in bathing suits but just to walk and see the water. Clouds rolled in which cut some of the warmth out of the air so we decided on fishing instead. It’s been a while since we’ve been because it’s just been cold, down right cold.
We weren’t encouraged when the bread we tossed in the water wasn’t even eaten by a turtle but we went through our assortments of beetle spins, grape worms and just plain ole bread! We were about to give up when our youngest son snagged what appeared to be the only fish in the pond. We huddled around to see what he would bring to the surface.
Baby Girl is usually the master (only) fisherman when she joins her dad at the pond so she’s gotten herself quite a name in these parts! (These parts being our family…all 6 of us!)
But the baby boy came up with this prize this day! Boy was he proud. Check out that fish! It had to be ten feel long don’t ‘cha think? Just had to be! And no, Lisa, we did not eat him. He’s happily swimming with his buddy Rocky and his tube shaped hamburger deep within the lake. Happy as a little camper, just the way you make me.
He’s a looker!!!!! Especially with the worm we call Hannah Montana in his mouth. It’s very sparkly!
Way to go Lukster!!! I especially love the “letting go” component, although you all missed out on a meal that is about as organic as it gets. Keep relishing in these family moments – they are so sweet. Love & miss you so. Lisa
Great fish picture! Looks like fun had by all.
