Rather Be Fishin'

Saturday, after the pouring down rain finally stopped, we took Zander (& Mason) on his first fishing trip. Friday night, Zander got to pick out his very own fishing pole and was super-duper excited to go try it out. So when we woke up on Saturday and heard the rain, we feared he wouldn't get to go. The rain did stop, not until 5:30 pm, but we still had time to go. He did rather well I thought, at least for a 3 year old. When we got down to the dock, he sat nicely in his chair and wanted to hold his pole. As soon as Daddy got it in the water and he was holding on, he says, "I got something!" Of course he didn't, but it was cute and he enjoyed looking at the minnow on the his hook. We didn't catch anything, but the guy next to us did, so he was excited to see that. Zander was really good at reeling in his line, I think that was his favorite part. He must of enjoyed it, 'cause he has asked everyday sense if he could go fish with Spongebob. (Spongebob was the character on the fishing pole he picked.) So look for some more fishing photos.

Oh, I almost forgot. When we got there and Zander saw the water, he was excited as he always is when he sees water. But this time it was not for the water. When he looked out at the water, he exclaimed, "A WHALE!!!" He had seen a large stick floating in the middle of the lake and he honestly thought it was a whale. I think he was very disappointed when I told him it was just a stick. You should have heard that conversation!
