Fishing Trip

We spent the first gorgeous weekend of the year fishing at a lake close to where Matt works. It was a perfect Saturday activity! We told the girls a few days ago our plans and they were pretty excited this morning when it was actually time to go. Erika went fishing with Matt last season, but this was Laurel and Levi's first trip out. Laurel loved it! Erika tolerated it for a few minutes, but just does not like to sit still and wait for long. Once she got bored, we hiked around in a small grove of trees right next to where we were fishing. The fishing spot we chose was on a small cliff that had about a 2.5 to 3 foot drop to the water. I spent the majority of my morning worrying that one of the girls was going to go over the edge. We fished for about 30 to 45 minutes before the girls scared me enough that we packed up and left. We drove around the lake looking for a place to dip our feet in the water, but the water was too high and all the beachy areas were covered. We brought a picnic lunch and ate that and played for a while before heading home. It was a lot of fun and we are really looking to going back!

Laurel can't wait to begin her fishing adventure. I love the girls rubber boots with their shorts.

Erika was excited at the beginning of the trip.

Laurel turned out to be quite the little fisherwoman.

Mommy and Levi didn't fish, but did enjoy the day.

Love them!
