Last week Caleb promised Silas that he would take him fishing if he stayed in his Sunday school class. After church he came up to me so excited that he'd earned his fishing excursion. We bought some night crawlers today and Caleb made good on his deal. Silas was too scared to go out on the dock so Isaac took the first turn. Within 10 minutes it was clear he had one on the line. His pole was completely bent over about to snap! I caught a glimpse of the monster and for REAL it was a monster! We had to run get the net to get it out of the water. Isaac was so proud of himself. Now all of a sudden he LOVES fishing. Silas wasn't so sure he wanted to go after seeing that fish. If you keep up with our blog you might remember that not too long ago he caught a little fish and he was terrified of it. Elias didn't want to fish after that either. We could never get him to admit whether he was scared of catching a fish that big or just scared that he'd catch one smaller than Isaac's. I do have to say it was so exciting and I'm sure we'll be fishing more often while we're here in the condo. Isaac was ticked that we didn't keep it and eat it. We definitely could have had several meals out of him but we don't have a good knife to fillet any fish here with us. We're all excited for our fishing future down here now!

OMGosh I miss you guys so much! Sorry I will try to get over it and stop being debbie downer! That fish is huge that is awesome!
What a fun activity you have found to do! That is a pretty good size fish! Looks like a fun time!
Love that pic of Isaac lying next to his prize. He should be proud! Glad your boys have found something to keep them busy. Did anyone have catfish for dinner? I hear it's pretty tasty!
what a catch! you definitely have better bribes that i do to keep the kids in sunday school.
That really does look like fun! I get a kick out of Silas's pink barbie life jacket. I'm sure Caleb is just thrilled you let that picture out.
