keepers

Katie and Carter have been begging all summer to get to "really" fish (instead of use their hook-free poles, which I would much prefer, you know...because I actually love their eyeballs and stuff)....and this weekend, we finally took the plunge. 

I'm pretty sure I should be embarassed to say that it took me nearly an entire summer to be able to hook my own worm and the kids were begging to do it in like five seconds.  They loved holding the worms, and with the help of Papa Jay and Eric set out to see if they could catch anything. 

Believe it or not, KJ and Carter didn't just catch fish, they caught BIG fish!  It was the cutest thing I've ever seen to see my little girl fight to pull the fish out of the water.  So proud.

They are keepers.
For sure.

I love it when KJ Cheeses!! So freakin cute!
Also, Carter just KILLS me. I swear I know what that kid is thinking, the way you know what Jakey is thinking. We're soulmates.
I'm glad they did not get our fear of all things slimy, sharp, and gross. (Remember that one time I pried a hook out of my arm, just to get it stuck again in my leg? WOW)
You are raising awesome people.
