Sunburn and Fishing

That right there is why I look like a lobster. No lectures please, I *knew* I would get burnt if I didn’t put on sunblock, I just didn’t listen! ha ha.

Yesterday, we loaded up with our breakfast, drinks, poles, and tackle box and set out to get some bait. Our previous fishing trips resulted in no fish, and we think that’s because we didn’t use real worms. So fast forward to the fishing pond, and as we settled into our chairs to bait our hooks (Hubs did mine, what a sweetie!), I knew we were going to have a good day. For the first half of our fishing trip, it was just Hubs and I. Chubbs was at Grammie’s house, and we didn’t plan on going fishing or we would have brought him.

This fishing spot isn’t my favorite, it’s not as peaceful as the other place we’ve gone. This one has a state route next to it, a hospital right across the street, and just too much noise. The other place is in the country, away from it all, with barely any traffic noise. It’s a beautiful natural preserve, and the wildlife and plants are so beautiful!

After a couple of hours of fishing by ourselves, and reaching a total of 3 fish for me, and 2 for Hubs (hey, no hard feelings Hubs!), we went and picked up Chubbs to bring him out and try some more. We wanted him to catch a fish, even just one, to feel the tug on the pole and the excitement of reeling it in. It. Was. Awesome! We helped him, but he did it! He even HELD A FISH AND LET IT GO! I was beyond proud of him, and he was so adorable telling each fish, “Bye!” as we let them go back into the water.

Here are a few pictures!
