Fishing

Matt and I took the kids fishing this past Saturday.  One day, it will be a fun, relaxing time as it is meant to be.  Now, it is full of anxiety that one of the children will fall in the lake, trying to remind them that fishing is a quiet sport, and keeping them entertained once the novelty of throwing their line in the water and waiting wears off.  But, we will continue to take them because Matt and I love it!

Matt bought the girls some really fun pink chairs that they loved sitting in!

I did not trust Levi with a stick with a hook on the end of it, so he got to bring a bucket and shovel and dig in the dirt.  It was a great activity for him, but unfortunately Laurel also wanted to dig rather than fish so there were some fights over the shovel. 

Levi also really liked the eating part of our fishing adventure.

This picture absolutely makes me laugh every time I look at it!  Erika is eating her chips from the drink holder in her seat.  It totally reminds me of my Grandma Parnell and I would venture to say that I probably have a very similar picture of Grandma....legs crossed, sitting in a chair by the lake with a bottle of water.  I love it!  She looks like she is having a great vacation day!
