Someone told me recently that she’s too busy living life to record it. Guess I’m worried that we’ll be too busy living life to remember it. So, I am recording everything – much to my Macbook memory’s chagrin. Yesterday was no different.
With chores done and an opening in ical, we head out to a new favorite spot to sit in the shade and fish. No summer is complete without fishing. With one more week to make sure summer is complete, we fished…or they fished.
Lydia’s version of fishing…wading in the water with half of a fishing pole.
The fancy lures were fantastic for catching seaweed. Oh, how deceiving seedweed can be too. The snag and the weight sure can seem like a good catch…darn it.
Which meant some of the anglers became a bit defeated
or opted for something a bit more entertaining.
Little Miss Determination though switched bait to the live type (aka “bug bugs” if you are Lydia the Chinese lady)
and fed the fish for a while
Until she finally managed to hook a whale of a fish. Her first catch. That proud smile was worth all 3 oz. of that fish and then some.
I’m with you – I want to record everything so I can remember it. They grow up too fast!
Love the fishing pictures. We actually didn’t fit in our annual fishing trip this summer…the kids were disappointed because they always have such a good time at the lake catching dinner for us. (And I have a good time sitting in a chair reading while I watch them catch fish!)
I agree wholeheartedly about the recording – I look back even 6mths ago and can’t believe the change in the children that otherwise would have gone unnoticed.
Glad your fishing trip was a good one.
I agree, also! Gotta record it all – I can hardly remember what happened yesterday, let alone last month or last year!

I am with you! So many things happen in our lives that are the “little things” – I don’t want to forget them either!! I am so thankful for this little corner of the web to record such things!
Love Ashlyn’s smile!
Such cute pics! Looks like fun! Eric spends more time untangling and cutting lines when he takes the kids than he does fishing! LOL
Oh Kelly how seriously fun is this! I love it. That picture of Ashlyn holding her little “catch” is such a treasure!
