Our Fishing Fun

We found a beatiful marina, on one of our sunday drives, and decided it would be fun to buy a couple of poles and go fishing.


We had a lot of fun with the whole experience. We spent nearly an hour in the fishing department, even though I told everyone it didn't matter what fishing pole they got, my transformers pole and I were going to dominate ha ha. It was a beautiful day, I have to thank Adam M. for taking a lot of great pictures for me.


The Hansens came to support. Rick, Leah, and little Keira came and fished for a little. Sandra and Steve came and Steve had the coolest thing ever happen to him.

As I was walking around on the rocks on the shore trying to catch another fish, I saw something move under the rock which I continued to fish off of. After looking a little closer I saw that it was a Snake! I had a water moccasin sitting right below me that whole time. Well we all backed away to put some distance between us and the scary snake and then steve caught a fish. As he was reeling it in, not in any rush, it got closer to the shore and the snake shot out from under the rock faster than we knew what was happening. As we started yelling for people to come and see it began to swallow the fish, and steves line, while we all watched. I tried to get a video as fast as I could ha ha.





I ended up being the only one who caught 2 fish big enough to take home, my kiddy fishing pole really struggled reeling them in too.

Keira and Chelsea

We ended up finding a bunch of craw fish/dads where we were fishing and Joseph was a pro at catching them.

It was a really fun day! I am always glad the boys get time to enjoy the summer too.

You know you want to come and visit!
