Fishing! 🎣

What a day we had today!!

We started the day on the beach, drinking coffee and watching the fisherman troll the bay.

Afterwards we checked our crab traps, 2 crab! This time we were more successful at holding them!

After this Bree and Alan went off on a kayaking journey through the canals then off to the beach!

We decided to head to the beach and spend the afternoon there! What a great idea! We brought our fishing poles and fished right until another storm blew in. Mich and I stayed a little longer hoping to get one more…

Bree was the first to catch a fish, using her tiny Barbie pole!

The other kids were busy in the sand and didn’t really fish until later.

The storm was a doozy, thunder, lightning and torrential downpour!! We fixed lunch then decided to watch a movie, read a book, or nap, a lazy afternoon waiting out the rain!

After the rain died down we headed back out to fish some more! We had caught the fishing bug. 🎣

Our top angler for the day was London, she caught 7 fish!

Michelle was in 2nd place with 6

Andy, Bree and Alan tied with two.

I had 1, but I actually stopped fishing after that one because I have no patience and became the hook remover. I’m so thankful for my grandpa who took me fishing so much as a little girl. I love teaching my girls things I was taught as a child. I also love watching Alan work with the girls and teach them.

Houston does not like to fish…so he had zero…and poor Ry fished all day and never got one. She pulled one to the surf and lost it, but she tried all night until dinner time. Alan and her were the last to leave the beach. She is going to try again tomorrow!
