The day and life of a fisherman

We are off to go fishing!  A day Danny has dreamed about since his birthday when he got a fishing pool!
We went to the ranch to fish in the creek.  The water has been so high that it has been to dangerous to go, so that is why it has been so long.  He has patiently been waiting.

Logan, getting us already to go.  The worms and the lines all part of the process.  I never have fished sitting on a chair before then again I haven't fished since I was younger...

Maddi so excited to try and get a fish. 

Danny sometimes was not very effective in his fishing style.  That is wading all around and splashing and talking loud, but he sure enjoyed the day that he has waited for, for a very long time.

It can be a bit boring.  So you have to play in the dirt to break up.

Mom and Olivia writing in the sand.  Olivia was telling Grandma stories.

Olivia did it!!  She caught the first fish of the day.  Well actually the only fish of the day, and boy was she excited.  Look at that big ole fish at least a 10 pound er in fish telling stories!  Right?

She was so excited but not sure she wanted to hold it.  Can you even see it?  The fish that is.

This is the kids coming back for lunch. Libby is still holding on to her tiny fish.

Grandma helped Olivia prepare the fish to eat.

Already to go on the grill, and boy did she think she was a grown up.  She caught and cooked up dinner for us:)



This is it...  The one morsel I got was great.  Mom says there is no better fish than out of the creek and I think she is right.   The fishing day was a bit slow only having caught one fish the 3 or so hours we fished, but like my sister says the fun is building the tent not sitting in it.
