Fishy

We have had the greatest weather over the last few days. I am loving it! We were able to do one of my favorite things over Mother's Day weekend. It was plenty hot enough to take the boat for a spin at the lake. The girls really wanted to fish so the three of us went along with Grandma and Grandpa for a fun trip out on the water. The sun was really hot out there and we reapplied our sunscreen over and over again.

It was a good thing that we had Grandpa there to bait our hooks since my girls have started becoming much more "girly" lately. They didn't want to touch the worms. Granted, I didn't want to either, but it was strange because just a couple years ago Claire would have really enjoyed playing with the worms. We got our poles in the water and sat back to relax. It wasn't long before the first fish was on! It was great. Claire got to reel it in. She was very pleased with herself. Thankfully, not too much time passed before we got another fish. This time Grace was able to bring it in. We got really lucky to get 2 fish. I'm so glad that worked out. :)

We were super hot and sweaty, so we decided to take a break from fishing and joyride a bit around the lake to cool down. It was a lot of fun! Getting splashed felt great. I really love being out on the water like that. The rushing air in your face feels invigorating. We are so lucky to live close to Grandpa and Grandma. It's great that we can spend time together and do fun things! I know the girls had a great time on their successful fishing trip!

We cooked the fish up at our Mother's Day BBQ on Sunday. It was a great weekend!
