Gone Fishing!

After a monthly trip to Richland we had some friends that wanted to take us fishing. So one wet, cold, windy Saturday we packed into the car to go home to Seattle and made a small detour to stop and fish. Ok, so it was a 4hr detour...2hrs the opposite direction of Seattle to get there and a loooooong 2 hrs back! Not my ideal with 3 small kiddos. We drove 7 hours that day just to catch some fish. Oh, the dedication! But that being said we will have good memories left once the details fade and we can just look at the pictures. :) It doesn't even look like it is raining in the pictures, does it? Well, let me tell you, it was!
Josh learning the ropes from Dad and Jake, already a pro!
I can still hear Jake saying "Ben, just pick it up. It's ok, just a little slimy but it won't hurt you." Ben tried but it flopped and he jumped back and had enough of that. He was content to just reel them in.
Jake on the other hand...well he just needs a few lessons on how to hold a fish in pictures to make it look bigger then it is. This here will not do! But the smile is priceless.

It was SOOO good to have you and he boys here for the day!!! I got such a kick from this post - oh, I can just imagine! It's so true that once the details of the trip fade the memories are so much better! ;-)

Yes, Jake's smile is priceless. And I agree with you about making memories and hoping all the other stuff fades away. I'm glad it does for the most part. Bbut there are a few sleepless nights on vacation that I can't seem to forget.
