Hookie

Nicholas and Isabella played hookie from school today and went fishing with Daddy. Nicholas caught one and actually got it to the boat. Isabella caught 2 but both got away before they got captured. She said "I didn't know what to do." :-)
The first catch of the season...rainbow trout!




Side note: Five minutes after this picture, Jeff gutted the fish and got it ready to eat. Nicholas flipped out and was sad. :-( He wasn't ready for the fish to die and he wanted to keep it in his 10 gallon tank.

What??? You let your kids play hooky??? I'm SHOCKED!

Emma's been begging us to take her fishing. I think she'd love it, but I'm so afraid that she hasn't processed the whole "killing" part of it. Maybe a catch & release trip to start...

Sounds like they had a good day! :-) As long as you don't have to touch the fish, right??? :-)

Hooky & fishing all in the same day? How cool was that? Who ate the fish?
