Summer of Fishing

Summer memories.

One thing I know for sure is my kids will remember all the fishing we have done this summer.

Especially since I am really not the fishing type.

We are spending some wonderful hours with friends while fishing.

Today, A and her 2 children(A&E) joined us for fishing.

Of course K and her kids were there too.

3 moms and 7 kids.

K, A, and I spent the time talking.

Sometimes offering assistance to the kids.

Mostly the kids were all self-sufficient.  And had a great time.

Fun summer memories.

Here is Henna, As' dog.  I just love her ears.  She came along for the fishing fun.

E, As' son, and the frog he caught.  He's such a cutie.  

A wasn't so happy with the frog.  She told him to go away.  I told him to come back close so I could take a picture.

I did warn him not to let the frog jump out of his hands.  Thankfully, he didn't.

E & M fishing on the rock.  This was a good spot today.  I think the girls liked sitting and fishing.

I love this picture.  Lots going on.  

M & E busy fishing.

E getting a worm from the box.  W aka Hot Ketchup watching E get the worm.

J out in the water.  Looks like he is checking out his reel.

This is a fun happy picture.

This is J, Ks' oldest.  He is a sweetheart.

If the girls need help with their line, he is always willing to help.

And he is so sweet with his little brother, W.  J usually will cast the line and let W reel the fish in to shore.  

So part of our good summer groove is all of the fishing we have been doing.

Fun summer memories being made with friends.

Love the simplicity of the time spent together while fishing.

Happy kids.  Happy moms.  

Now that's a good summer.

potd #204.  E got her line stuck in the lily pads.  J was wanting to go in the water.   So when Es' line got stuck, he was quick to volunteer to go out in the water to get it unstuck.  It was a successful rescue mission.  Thanks J.
