A few weekends ago, I was asked to join the girls and Michael on a fishing trip. I’ve never really been fishing before, although I do have vague memories of standing beside my Opa on the bridge in River John with a pole, and the occasional trip to the Black River with a bent nail tied with baler twine on an old stick. So, we’ll just say fishing has never been a major pastime for me.
The first thing to do for any outdoor activities is make sure you apply sunscreen…
It’s fun to watch the girls learn new things…like casting! I have zero advice to offer. Zlitch. Zip. But it looked right? The hook ended up in the water the majority of the times they cast so they must be doing it right….
Of course, I don’t have a fishing license so I spent my time with camera in hand. There are only so many times you can take pictures of the girls, so I soon turned to the nature around us.
I don’t much care what we are doing, I enjoy hangin’ out with these girls. Whether it’s riding, chalking the driveway, going on a road trip or standing on the banks of a river, I’m game for anything, really.
They are growing up before my eyes. I really feel like time is flying by and I’m feeling like I’ve missed too much time already. So, I’ll soak it up, snap pictures so I can look back and remember the good times. And if someone wants to come and sit with their momma for a minute for a break, I might snap one last picture, put the camera down and wrap my arms around my girl.
Warmly,
Lori
