fishing adventures

 We took the boat out on a Friday night and then the next Saturday afternoon. The weather was beautiful and we had so much fun.

  We didn't have any luck at night, but Tyler did the next morning, so we joined him in the afternoon. We beached the boat and let the boys throw rocks while I tried to catch something. All I caught was blackberry leaves. :)

 Tyler's catch of the day. Pretty awesome!

 

And a funny story:

 Tyler borrowed this lifejacket from a co-worker. It has a string that you pull to inflate, only when you need to float, so it's not bulky when you don't "need" the lifejacket. I had set it out on our entry table so that Tyler could take it back the next day. It had been sitting out all afternoon and no one touched it until Kaden got home. I saw him looking at it and then heard the "whoosh!" of air. Oops! He was embarrassed, to say the least. And I was frustrated that I didn't explain it to him before his curiosity got the better of him. Now he knows that you only pull the string that says "pull" when you have an emergency.
