Here Fishy Fishy

For Memorial Day we decided to get together with Grady's Family and hit Enterprise reservoir for some much needed relaxation and some killer fishing. If you know me you know I don't like to fish, at all. But Grady got into it a little bit last summer and so did Taylee. We have a strict catch and release policy at our house. Why keep it if you aren't going to eat it! Anyway we had quite a successful day fishing. Here are some pictures to prove it.

First Catch of the Day. Way to go Pat!!!

For the first time since she got her pole Tay caught a fish all by herself. Yes that huge fish on her tiny little Princess fishing pole. She was so excited. She kept telling us that she had one and we finally realized it when it was close enough to see it. She reeled it all the way to shore. She wouldn't touch the thing or hold it or even kiss it!! ...

But she did talk to it while Grady was getting the hook loose. She kept saying, "its ok little fishy we'll get that out of you real soon and you can get back in the water." It was pretty funny stuff. The best thing is that she actually understands now that you just kinda hang out on your chair and wait for the fish to bite and you stay quiet. She did just that up until about the last hour and then she decided she was bored.

Letting the fish go

Here she goes again!! Bringing in #2. She was so excited she said, "I can't believe I just caught my second first fish!!!"

While Grady and Taylee were fishing this what Carmindy was doing. Eating and being really cute. She loved to walk all over the beach and play with her cousin Graham. And I chased both of them around with the camera taking pics inbetween capturing all the catches of the day.

This is what Grandpa David caught. Taylee wouldn't quit teasing him about how small his fish was.

 

Half of the family

Grady's first catch of the day!!!

 Yes she is eating again. More snacks!

Finally caught something that was alive!

Wyatt and his big Mama fish. It was leaking some sort of fluid while he held it. Do fish pee? That was a question for the day.

Somehow Tay ended up like this. Who needs face paint when you have dirt?

Carmindy and I hanging out. She was being a little stink but she had fun.

Showing Carm the fish. She didn't know what to think of the thing. She freaked out when we asked her if she wanted to touch it.

 By the end of the day we were all exhausted from playing around, fishing, talking and laughing. We all got a little too much sun but it was worth it in the end. Because Taylee caught her Second First fish.
