Fishing 2010

Well, today was the first day of the year we went fishing. With any luck, we'll have many days to follow. As you can see it was a beautiful day, nearly 70 degrees! Makenna and Maddee had a great time. We were on the water for nearly 4 hours and neither one cried or made a fuss. Makenna had a good time fishing, eating Daddy's hot dog, and playing with the water in the water bottles. Make special note of the words hot dog as that implies we had a barbecue grill on the boat. Yes indeed, we have a grill on the boat. This is the life!

Sad news, however, as we lost the princess fishing pole. The funniest thing is that I got it on video. I really have to post it, it's hilarious! Luckily, Makenna took it pretty good. I think there may have been a mention of the Easter Bunny knowing she might need a new pole.

One picture may need a little explanation. At the end of the day, John took a picture of Maddee and me. I'm wearing a t-shirt that says "Beat Bake". This shirt has a great story behind it. John and I had decided to go to a college b-ball game a few years ago. Neither one of us could make up our minds if we should go or not and it led to a little spat. (And I do say little because that accurately describes them!) Anyway, I was being my stubborn self on the way to town, I can't even remember why I was mad. So we get to the game and everyone was wearing t-shirts that said "Beat Bake". The local college was playing Bakersfield and so they had these shirts made up for the game. I have to tell you, it was like a message from Heaven telling John that I was right, no matter what we were arguing about.

Since that time I've kept this shirt in a very safe place and only wear it on special occasions. I was hoping wearing it today would show my dominance in the fish catching competition, but it was not to be as we didn't get a single bite! Ah, nonetheless, it was a great day with the girls. I'll just have to tuck away my special shirt for the next outing.
