Tying on the hook

It was a gorgeous morning. The sun was shining and the air was cool, the mosquitoes were the size of hummingbirds.

The twins watched as Daddy tied on the hook and the smiley face bobbers we got from Walmart. They had practiced for most of the afternoon yesterday so this was the real thing with wiggling worms and slimy fish.

Aubrey was examining the surrounding asking logs of question and wanted to explore. Reagan sat patiently and watched Daddy.

I watched the them walk down to the waters edge knowing this was going to change everything. Yes in one way they are still babies but on the other hand this was a 'big girl' adventure.They had on their PFDs and were ready. As you can see here Aubrey had a skip in her step! She was yelling all the way down to the water. 'The fish in here Daddy?'




Onto the dock. No hesitation. YIKES!! I thought to myself. They went right out and stood next to Daddy listening to his instructions.
