The Grass Family Chronicles

I've come to realize that we're not the type of people that can laze around the house. In theory, it sounds amazing, but in reality we just can't do it. Paul took a week off of work, and during that week, we went to a parade, spent 3 days at the beach, went berry picking, fishing, spent a mommy/daddy evening at Edgefield and did a triathlon. Oh, and Paul taught Caleb and Andy how to ride their bikes without training wheels. But, I digress. Right now I want to talk about fishing. Caleb and a brief introduction to fishing on his school field trip, and had been asking about it on and off since then, so on a bright, sunny morning we headed to Horning's Hideout. It was a great place for us!



We had gotten the older boys fishing poles a couple years ago, but hadn't really used them, and Caleb and Andy are just the right size for them now! Mommy was freaking out about Jakey being in the near vicinity of flying fish hooks, but we all survived and managed to have a wonderful time.



Andy seemed to get easily discouraged when he didn't catch fish right away, but in the end he caught a small one and a bigger one.



Caleb was the lucky fisherman of the day; he caught three fish! And of course, Mommy caught the big fish of the day. Poor Paul was stuck putting the worms on the hook, casting, and taking care of the fish when we caught them so he came up with nothing. And Jakey? Well, he basically ran around and almost gave Mommy a heart attack as he almost fell into the pond numerous times, and don't even get me started on the fish hooks!
