Fishing in the Dark...

PaPa and Elley got Carter a fishing pole for his birthday.  The entire month leading up to it, Carter would wake up in the mornings saying, "I know Mama, tan we doe fishiiiiiing???"

I would have to reply, "Maybe when you are three."  Well, his wish came true.  With his Lightening McQueen pole in hand, we headed to the creek to try our luck in a few bluegill the night before Carter's third birthday.  PaPa and Elley had the car loaded with bait, equipment, chairs, snacks, things for a hot dog cookout and Cheetos (Peter's favorite).  With a little corn on the hook, the boys caught some whoppers!  2-3 inch fish :)  Even Uncle Chase came to help out.  It was a blast!

"Hmmm...how does this work?"

We even found a tree that had been struck by lightning.  It went in one side and out the other!

 A wind storm made us rethink our hot dog cookout, but not before the boys warmed up a couple.  With fishing complete and tummies full of fun food, it was Heaven!
