M finally got his toy - a fishing boat! He as been talking about getting one since we first bought our lot two years ago!
After church we got the final necessities ready to take it out! I had to go pick up S from choir rehearsal, so the boys went out without us for the first part of the trip. Once S and I got home and suited up, we went down to our neighbor's dock and they came and picked us up! We stayed out about 2 hours, fishing and driving around watching the fish finder with the kids were enamored with!
M spent a lot of time getting the poles ready and baiting hooks while S kept us updated on whether or not there were fish below us as our boat was blown across the lake(it was a very windy day!) and then there was wiggly C! He is our bait catcher! The boy is obsessed with catching the bait(minnows was the bait of the day today!) and he does not ever sit still. So, it was bound to happen, he was doing who knows what slightly too close to the edge of the boat... over he goes!! And that is why kids wear life jackets on boats! Talk about a panicked moment!! M was quick to fish(haha, pun intended!!) him out but not before he was completely drenched and freezing!
