• Tuesday, July 29, 2008 - Gone Fishing...updated

We are starting up our homeschool again on Friday.  So for a last Summer Hoorah, each kid is choosing one thing they want to do.  Today, Mr. C has chosen to go fishing.  At first he was a little confused.  I told him we'd go this morning and such.  All of a sudden he realizes it is Tuesday and says, "But Daddy doesn't have the day off." me: "I know, Momma is going to take you fishing," him: "But you don't know how to drive the boat." me: "No, we are going to fish off the bank.  You can catch lots of perch off the bank." him:  "I wanted to catch a big catfish.  I guess we'll just have perch for supper then." After a little more discussion, he decided that fishing for perch was the best deal he was going to get due to mom's inexperience fishing. (This will be my first ever solo fishing trip.  I've been lots with family over the years, but I rarely fish, usually I pick flowers and such...lol)  So I'm packing up fun snacks, fishing poles, and stopping by the store to get a bucket of worms.  Wish me some fishing luck!  I know that if nothing else, we ought to make some memories...and likely some humorous ones at that. Edited to add:  The first day of fishing was not good.  There were no fish biting at all.  However, two days later we tried again and caught several perch of various shades of the rainbow.  We also saw lots of deer and racoon prints near the water's edge.  A fun time was had by all and finished off with ice cream treats in this wonderful 100+ degree Texas weather.  If you haven't taken little ones fishing this summer, go as quickly as you can because it really is a joy to see them enjoy themselves so completely! Blessings, Mrs. P

I have not done a lot of fishing in my long lifetime, but I do remember the wonderful companionship I felt with the people I was with. I think this activity will be a true memory maker for both of you. Many blessings.
