Gone Fishin'

 Well, we're "hooked"!
Dustin borrowed a boat from his uncle and we took the boys to Moose Lake for their first ever fishing experience.  The boat is a relic, and I'd be lying if I said the day went as smoothly as it possibly could.  In truth, we almost sank the boat before we even got in (those plugs really are necessary!) and then the motor repeatedly wouldn't start, died, or needed prayer ...  and at one point, I was gaging how long it would take me to swim to shore and get to a phone, since there's no cell service there.  That was worst case scenario, paddling would have been the logical next step.  Yet, Dustin managed to coax that motor back to life and we'd go on with our excursion.  Eventually, we left it idling, but that really wrecked the serenity of the lake and fishing.
DESPITE all of that, we had the most wonderful time ever on the water, and even got to experience the thrill of a catch when Dustin hooked a Jack fish.
I kid you not when I say 'we're hooked'!  We've borrowed another boat for this weekend, and we'll be heading out again.  I'm hoping the boys can catch their first fish this weekend!
We'll have to see about getting our own boat yet ....

Here are some photos from our first time out :)

Waiting for Dad and Mom to "unsink" the boat so we could go out in it ;)

My little anglers!

I loved the view ... :P

I see how people get addicted ...' just one more cast ', it may be the one that gets the big one!

Zach always thinks the snacks are the best part of outings :)

One of the times it was working! haha!

Showing off Dad's catch.  Next time, it will be HIS catch!
