Last weekend I was blessed to spend the weekend on Lake Shasta with my family. We had a blast (even though it felt like being back in Vegas it was so hot).
Over the weekend we participated in one of my favorite things to do as a kid: fishing! I brought the girls barbie poles and we were ready to land the big one. Each morning one of our adult leaders took my family out, on his boat, to go bass fishing. I'm pretty stoked my little girls enjoy fishing with me.
The big question always comes up when you go fishing: did you catch anything? I can confess I didn't catch anything.... but Sophie and Leah each landed two fish (i may have helped them).
Each morning I put on my sunscreen and the girls put on their life vests to head out on the lake. To make the trip even better Charity came out with us (she caught a tan). Leah was a great help the whole trip. She quickly found out how fun it was to net the fish (I was a little scared she may fall in but she never did).
After Sophie saw how fun it was to net the fish she wanted in on the action. They would take turns reeling in the fish and netting them; it was too cute.
I'm always going to look back on this fishing experience with our girls as so much fun. I'm thankful they want to hang out with me. I'm thankful they enjoy fishing! I'm thankful we only went out for about 30-60 minutes each of the two mornings; any longer and my girls may hate fishing. I'm most thankful for Jon taking us out and letting us use his equipment; we had a great time fishing on the houseboat adventure.
* We released all of the fish the girls caught; we even kissed some to say we're sorry
