Fishing Derby

Cabelas has a kids fishing derby every year up here and it's become one of our favorite summertime traditions. They provide new poles -- which you can keep for free, yay -- and bait. And they stock the lake with hungry catfish and bass. We actually caught quite a bit and it was a beautiful morning on the lake for all of us!






Harrison has become quite the fisherman and can bait his hook and get the fish off of it, even if it mean using pliers to do so. He will fish for hours with Matt and is happy just baiting his hook and dealing with the worms. Hehe! And, he certainly can tell a "fisherman" story too!
I actually caught the biggest fish in our family that day! It was quite a doozie large mouth bass.

Harrison caught a pretty good size catfish and took it up to be weighed.

There is nothing more wonderful to me than a morning spent as a family outside. The lake wasn't crowded and we stayed there until well past lunch time before heading home hungry, tired, but happy.
