Fishing

Total driving time: Almost 6 hours (should have been 3.5)
Beds: Not comfortable
Sleep: Didn't get any
Allotted time to fish: Just 3 hours

Not the ideal situation for a relaxing fishing weekend get-a-way.  And so, I just have to ask myself, "Was it worth it?"

You bet it was!

The kids had a lot of fun, and Jacob caught his first fish. He couldn't keep it cause it was too small but hey, it counts, right? He tried so hard and desperately wanted to catch a some thing. Grandpa Wayne said, "Sunday, I'm just going to focus on helping Jacob catch a fish." And that's just what he did!

Williams technique is somewhat questionable.  He kept casting and immediately reeling it in (like he was fishing with a lure).  I said, "Just leave it out there!"  He said, "Hey! That's not how I catch fish." And since he  caught three, I really argue with that.

Grandma Janie is a great at baiting the hook. She's had way too much practice.  (Sorry about that!) They were both very patient. And thanks to them, what started out as a not so great trip, ended up being a big success.
