Cash's First Catch!

This last fall, we planned a fishing expedition with a bunch of our friends here in Payette. We spent a couple hours fishing (on what turned out to be an incredibly cold day) at a local pond and then afterward, we met up at our house for some hot chocolate and taco soup. We had such a good time visiting and being together. It was also a very memorable day as it was Cash's first experience in catching his very own fish.


Ty got him all set up and Cash couldn't wait to catch a fish. And what a trooper Cash was, while all the other kids grew bored after some time and simply began throwing rocks around, Cash stuck it out - he wanted to catch a fish darn it! He stood at that bank the entire time! The poor kid was freezing by the time he finally reeled in that little croppie but he never gave up and reeled it in all by himself. Doesn't his face just say it all?! He was so proud and excited! So were we!


After showing off his grand prize and snapping some pictures (thanks Ann and Brooklynn - I couldn't wait to get these pictures off your camera so I could scrapbook them), we told him to throw the fish back in the water - this is how far it made it...

...to the very edge of the water. Poor thing I know. I think Daddy has a fishing buddy now! And Grandpas too! What fun!!!

What cute pictures, and he was pretty brave to hold that fish. I kind of have 2 due dates- the ultrasounds I've had show March 18, then a date according to my last period and what not is March 21.

What fun! I love how Cash is observing the fish very closely. I'm sure Ty is excited about it too.
