Despite our best intentions, we never made it camping this summer. (Kids, say it with me: We can't do ALL the things.) But Jason had an itch to go fishing last weekend, so we made a quick afternoon trip to Lily Lake. It was a beautiful day. Plus, it gave me the opportunity to sing "Fishing in the Dark" for hours even though it was very much daylight the whole time we were there. You can't beat that.
Surprisingly, Rooney was pretty well behaved on this outing. I think he knew we were testing him. He liked playing in the muddy water, exploring in the trees, and he didn't bark once at our fishing buddies. He may have earned the right to go on an overnight campout next summer. Maybe.
Mickey and Dahlia both caught a fish. Or, more accurately, Jason caught two fish and each of the kids reeled one in. (Or rolled one in, as Mick would say.)
I can't even tell you how proud I am of capturing the moment when this little fishy decided to start dancing. That's quality, right there. I call it "When good fishing goes bad." And it's my new favorite.
