Gone Fishin

Cooper got a Spiderman fishing pole for his birthday, so I decided to take him fishing last weekend. We also took Reese, Jaxson, and Landon along for the adventurous trip. We got to the little pond, got all set up with weight, bobbers, hooks and bait. I helped the kids with casting for a while. There were alot of people there at the pond and I never saw one person catch a fish. So, needless to say, the kids were bored very quickly.
Reese decided that she was going to sit down and keep practicing on her casting skills. She was doing very well, until she casted the hook into her finger....she preceded to run around and scream and dance and the more she danced the more the hook went deeper into her skin. We kept yelling at her to stop moving, but that didn't work. It wasn't very deep when I pulled it out. Jacqui told her, "If you would have stopped jumping around like a moron, it wouldn't have gone in deeper." It was so funny. Landon had a great time watching everyone until he took a nose dive off the little chair into the pile of small rocks. The poor guy was all scraped up and was crying so hard. I decided it was time to go since everyone at the lake was looking at us because our kids were being so loud! Next time, I think we will wait till the pond is stocked with fish!

Poor little guy...

You're adventurous. I'd be scared to take that many kids to open water... Too much of a temptation for them to jump in.
