Fishing Family Night

After we had been gone for a week to Omaha Jay wanted to spend some time with us so he left work early on Monday to take us fishing.  They boys were so excited.  We tried to be ready to go as soon as Tyler got home from school, we weren't quite ready so we didn't get out of there as soon as we wanted.  As soon as we got to the little lake Jay built a fire and then the boys were off to start fishing.  When we first got there it was windy and Elly didn't like it to much so I fed her and put her in the truck to sleep.  She slept the whole time we were there, so that was nice.

Mason loved the fire and had to keep puting sticks and grass in it.  While they fished we had tin foil dinners cooking.  It was nice to have the fire so that the boys could warm their hands after touching their fish and getting their hands cold.

We caught so many fish.  The boys loved it.  This was Tyler and Mason's first time to catch a fish, not their first time fishing though.  Jay couldn't keep the poles both baited because we were catching them so fast.  This was definitly the kind of fishing that I like to see.  We caught a bunch and had a bunch get off before we could get them to the shore.  Tyler was so excited to catch so many fish. 

Mason didn't want any help getting his fish in, but he couldn't do it by himself.

Mason liked to watch Jay get the hook out of their mouths.  We didn't keep any.  We just put them all back.

The boys ofcourse had to each hold everyone of the fish that they caught and have me take a picture of them all.  I was surprised that Mason wanted to hold his because sometimes he is weird about things like that.  In that he is just like his mother.  Jay wanted me to help him bait the hooks but that is sick to me.  I am just there to take the pictures and cook the dinner.

We had a great time.  The boys fished until it was dark and then we had our tin foil dinners.  The boys had so much fun they asked Jay if they could do it again.  It was nice to get to spend time together like that with just our family.  It was a good memory for the boys.
