Fishin'

While on vacation with my husband's family this summer at a beautiful lake, we decided it would be fun to fish off the dock. Let me set the stage. On this vacation are 6 adults (two of these being grandparents) and five kids (four of them being 7 years old and one almost five).

Just to make sure everything worked just right, my Honey and his brother in law got out the poles and spent a bit of time fishing on their own (no kids "helping"). The sky clouded over. He kids went inside for supper and indoor games. The rain came down with its friends, lightning and thunder. My Honey and bro-in-law ignored the weather and kept the hooks in the water.

You would think they were having great luck with the fish to remain out there in this weather. They lost four hooks, two lures, and almost lost the reel from one of the poles. All this in only five hours of fishing.

Neither of them caught a fish.

The next night, the kids took a turn with night crawlers on simple hooks.

Each child caught a fish. We were out there with the kids for an hour and a half.
