We got there around 8:30 and set up. It was a cold morning, but the sun was making its way out of the clouds. The minnows and crawdads were all along the shoreline, so the girls were trying to catch them. They did catch a few crawdads but would only hold them on a stick or in the net. We were able to net what looked like a chub, it had been swimming around the rocks below Cheyenne's feet as she splashed in the water.
The fish weren't biting and the wind came up, so we found a different spot to try with the wind at our backs. Still no bites. Jason and I went for a walk around the point we were sitting near, and when we came back, this is what we saw:
Abriana set, reeled in, netted and unhooked her very own fish! What a big girl she can be when she tries! We were both so very proud of her!
The wind calmed down and no one had another bite, so again we set off to a new spot; just past our first one. Shells of crawdads were all over in the rocks and the girls had us laughing playing with them. Chey would pick one up and start dancing and singing, "Mistew Cwab, Mistew Cwab."
Everyone had their fun quota filled that day, even Ruger.
When we got home the girls gave me gifts they made at school. Abriana's flower was a little wilted from being in a paper bag for two and a half days, but still so beautiful.
Kayla's big card sure made me smile. She missed the 'i' in her middle name, but she hasn't had much practice spelling it. The petals on the flowers were made with her fingertip dipped in paint. She said she had a lot of fun making it and couldn't wait to give it to me.
There's nothing more enjoyable than spending the day with my family, especially on Mother's Day.
