It was a momentous day today in the Raudenbush household. It was so nice today that Mark decided to take Evan out for a “fishing cruise” on the canoe this afternoon. Evan brought his little Spiderman fishing rod and casted it out with his father. AND (drumroll, please), Evan caught his very first official fish–he hooked it and reeled it in himself! AND, it was 14″ long!!!! Yahoo! Mark caught a few pictures on his cell phone (gotta love modern technology!). So, the pics aren’t great–but good enough to capture the pride on this little boy’s face. Look at Evan–I would say he’s beaming.

Mark caught three small fish himself. Evan told him, “You caught the most and I caught the biggest,” happy that they both “won.” Mark was easily just as excited as Evan was.

frogs and snails and puppy dog tails
making a wish, catching the first fish
that’s what little boys are made of..
