Fishing with Papa.

Reid, Luke & Papa fishing at Monument Lake.

Today we embarked on a fishing expedition to Monument Lake. Guess others had this same great idea as the lake was bustling with people fishing, swimmers splashing in the beach area, and a few folks canoeing. While we didn't catch any fish, we did catch 3 crawdads (Luke 1, Jami 2) that were about 6+ inches long. That was exciting enough! Papa soon learned that fishing with the boys is less about catching fish and more about the experience -- watching the boys splash/wade/throw rocks/run/dig in the sand/get wet/etc. Luke was particularly interested in the worms that Papa bought for bait, and he was brave enough to hold one!
