Pickeral Lake Bluegill!!!

Yesterday we took the two monsters to go fishing at Pickeral Lake, out by Townsend Park (the site of our wedding--I LOVE telling the kids that story every time we go to play there!).  They have developed a passion for fishing, especially Adri, who is especially difficult when forcing her to leave.  (Just like her Mama when it comes to fishing!  It doesn't matter if they're biting, it's the chance they might bite if you leave!)  (There's no fooling Adri with the "no lights on the boat" when it gets too dark, Papa.  She'll talk you into staying later to fish!)

Needless to say, they had the a blast and caught 8 or 9 Bluegill, a few of them very large!  Papa came along with us, so Sam was able to get his much needed "Papa time" in since all he does is ask to see or talk to his Papa.

Beautiful Pickeral Lake.

Adri daydreams of the fish she's going to catch as Papa gets her pole ready.

"Are there any fish down there, Papa?"

Sam stands on a bucket to be closer to Papa and see over the railing...

Sammer's first fish of the day!

Proud little man shows off his fish.  Not sure what the tongue is about...

Adri will not be outdone...She catches a fish too!

Fishing is serious business for these boys!!!

Adri scared of a worm (or snake, bug, etc)?  No way!!!

 Poor dead dragonfly!

 Sam got bored with fishing once they stopped biting every two seconds, so he played Fruit Ninja on Mama's phone to pass the time...

Adri has not time for games, she's too busy catching fish!!!

Will they bite again, Papa?
