FHE

Last night we decided to have a more adventurous Family Home Evening. So, we went to Rigby lake to go fishing. Whenever the kids go fishing they (usually Bo just takes them) stop to get worms and they get a treat. This is probably the only reason Hailey goes. They also have toys at the lake and Hailey and Jack had a blast playing on them. I think Conrad loves every part of fishing and he is really very good. Very patient.

There were tons of fish. Conrad caught 2 and so did Bo. They were biting and jumping constantly. It was pretty cool. I have to say that I have been quite a party pooper about fishing (sorry Bo) but, I love going to Rigby lake because it is so kid friendly and has lots of fish.

Some funny memories were:

Hailey: Grabbed a worm and kept getting close to me saying "touch it mom." Of course I didn't want to, but she just kept chasing me with it and laughing, until I finally did. She thought it was so funny. I didn't know she liked worms so much.

Conrad: When the first fish bit he said, "Huh, I think I got one!" I was like, "No, it looks like it is just in the weeds." So, I tried to get it unsnagged. He really did get one and I almost reeled the whole thing in for him. Oops! He didn't care though. He was just happy to see it.

Jackson just got eaten alive by misquitoes.

The kids kept talking about Christmas and the Christmas lights. Hailey said, "I have a great idea! We should put Christmas lights all around our house!" So, maybe we'll have to put some up this year :)

Sorry, no pics. I forgot my camera. Darn!
