First Fish...Sort Of

Mid-afternoon yesterday Andy and the kids blew up the inflatable kayak and decided to go down to the lake to do a little fishing. Elliot hasn't fished much and only 'caught' a fish one other time. When he was four or five, our whole family gathered at Kentucky Lake for Thanksgiving. Every day, he insisted on trudging down to the dock to fish with no luck. On the last day, my brother-in-law got a small fish from a man who was just filleting the middles out of them--or whatever you call it. Bob and Andy finagled it on to Elliot's line when he wasn't looking and we have a wonderful photo of him proudly displaying his fish with a hole in the middle.

So yesterday, it was a pretty big deal when he made a real catch--not enough for supper, but certainly enough to make him happy.


Our camping friends arrived about suppertime---several hours later than planned because of brake repairs in the Quad Cities. But we finished off the night with angel food, berries, and Whitey's ice cream and took a little walk to see an amazing display of lights projected on the pines with a sparkle something. Today we will check out the festivities in Francis Park with fireworks tonight. And, did I mention, perfect weather? Happy Fourth!
