At age 2 Opa takes the boys out to learn how to fish. Andrew and Braden are already fisherman. :) This was a special outing since it was Colton's 1st time! Andrew got to cast and fish the whole time by himself. He refused to bait his own hook with worms (I don't blame him!) but he would bait the corn. Braden had trouble being patient and ended up putting a HUGE knot in his line. Colton was in awe of the whole experience and jumped right in. Thankfully Colton caught one!!! Braden learned how to cast all by himself and caught at least one of his 4 fish all by himself. We neglected to tell him how to throw a fish back in the water and heaved the poor thing back into the water like a baseball. After catching his breath and gathering his senses, Opa gave Braden a lesson in how to properly put fish back in the water. After waiting so patiently, Andrew ended up catching 2 fish all by himself! Since Opa has a broken ankle, I was trying to be as helpful as possible. It was truly a challenge to take the boys fishing! Dad and I had to just stop and crack up at all the craziness that was going on. At one point we looked over and Colton had sat on the fishing pole that Braden got a knot in. He had worm guts all over his shorts and was caught in the shorts by the hook. Another time we looked over and Colon had taken the knotted fishing pole and was "fishing" by slapping into the murky water! Andrew and Braden each caught a fish all by themselves at the end of the evening! A great way to end the day.
So sorry you were in pain with your ankle, Dad, but it sure was great to see you laugh! The boys loved their good day fishing with you! Thanks! :)
