I was thinking sleeping in (anyone who knows Alex knows he loves to sleep in LATE --which everyone who knows me knows I LOVE), movie, maybe run some errands, and then just see what the day brings.
Alex had a different idea.
Of course he did. He wanted to sleep in, but then he wanted to fish. Hmmmmm, fish? I know nothing about fishing.
Like nothing. I can't identify fish (carp, small mouth bass, walleye, catfish..don't know the difference. I guess I know catfish). But I decide I will just do it...suck it up and take the poor kid fishing.
Where do you go fishing? I don't know. Alex tells me he wants to go to the river. Great Idea!
He then informs me that we needed to get bait. He also knows where to get bait--thank goodness!
We head to the river.....one hour passes. Three broken lines, one bite, a little frustration.
Hour Two.....no fish, no bites, nothing. Three hours.....no fish, no bites, nothing.
I give the five minute warning. Two minutes later...He has a fish on his line!!!!!! I am not sure who was more excited, but I am pretty sure I was even jumping up and down one point. I had to run down on the rocks and help him! It was great. I was so happy for Alex and so proud of him! When we got home he cleaned the fish by himself and we will have it some night coming up. Here are some pics of our fun day!
