Gone Shishin'

On Friday night Matt decided he wanted to go fishing, so we all decided to go along thinking it would be a really fun family activity. We loaded up, went and got our fishing licenses and off we went!

The kids had a lot of fun once daddy gave them their poles. He was convinced they were going to catch something so they each got a bobber and a hook complete with a worm. I think he was trying to compete with his brothers kids, who each caught a fish the other day...mind you they are 3 years old and almost 2 years old...

This is where it starts getting stressful...well...more stressful, considering Matt had already been yelling at the kids for trying to take his pole...

Notice the position that Braelyns pole is in? She decided it was not really a fishing pole, but rather a shovel DISGUISED as a fishing pole...

This is where Brody gets bored with it, walks away (pole in hand), and tangles us all up in his fishing line. At least he caught more than we all did though right?!?!

This is where Matt loses his bobber, hook, and worm to the tree...and continues to get more and more frustrated. At this point we throw in the towel, pack up our stuff and hike back up to the car. We decided it was better to leave the shishin' to the master (daddy) and wait until the kids were older to go again...or at least until I knew what I was doing enough to help him bait the poles and get everything ready... maybe I should have done something besides taken pictures? =)

On a positive note, Dad got to go fishing at Kolob all the next day and caught 3 fish! He even got to do a little 4 wheeling and found out that the road from Kolob to Cedar still has too much snow on it to get through. Picture of muddy Samurai as proof to follow...

We did have a pretty good laugh about all of it though =D
