We got to go fishing today, and found ourselves a lovely little spot, as you can see here. It was a little drive and a walk through the woods, but we got to a clearing where there was a bit of a wooden platform, and there we started our fishing again. Mommy prepared the dough balls ahead of time, and we put the hooks on the fishing poles right away - we were ready to do some fishin'!
Look who caught the first fish! Madison was on fire for the short time we spent fishing. I am not making this up: she caught eight fish while we were out there. For those of you looking for any angling tips, Madison exclusively uses the Spongebob Squarepants fishing pole, complete with a Plankton sinker at the end. Maybe it was the way she cast, but this pond was such that every time she cast her fishing line out there, it would come back with something on it. Daddy caught a few, as did Mommy as well - but Madison ruled the day with catch after catch after catch. And she saved the best for last: it was a whopper. This one was the size of her face, one that required some help reeling in!
We stayed out there fishing for a short window, and had a great time. If anything, it was a little too easy catching fish this time around. But you'll hear no complaints from Madison, who was quite happy to brag about her casting skill, and encourage Daddy on the way home: "Don't worry, next time you'll do better."
We hit the pool after that, which is always fun. Madison tried a little swimming without her floaties, and was doing okay for a limited amount of time. Of course, she's doing great with the floaties on, fearless as ever and swimming from one side of the pool to the other without worry. The rain was on and off today, as it has been the whole month of July. Right after fishing, it rained - but there was a big enough break for us to go swimming. But just as we were getting out of the pool... it rained again.
But it stopped long enough for Daddy to grill some delicious barbecue chicken outside, along with some hot dogs. Inside, Mommy was preparing a wonderful tossed salad, and before long, we had ourselves yet another delicious dinner. We're all pretty spoiled in that department!
Before bedtime, we watched "Toy Story 2" together, and I've still got that song "Woody's Round-up" stuck in my head! We went to bed earlier tonight, all of us a bit tired from the big day. Daddy read some more Bible to Madison, by request, and we all went off to bed nearly the same time.
We really enjoyed that location fishing, by the way. We'll certainly be back there for some fun - you could say we're ... wait for it... hooked!
