day #17: whata catch!

when uncle ed invited zach to go down to the dock to go fishin with him, i had my doubts that zach would be up for it. boy, was i wrong.

zachary loved watchin uncle ed fish. so much, he wanted to do so himself. one of the best feelings in the world is knowin your lil boy wants to learn how to fish. especially when my dad, my stepdad, and various other men in my life, includin my husband, enjoy fishin. me, not so much. it can be fun, but i no where near have the patience for it.

we hit up the local huntin/fishin store to find zach his very first fishin pole. tom selected a bright yellow one and zach was so excited! he couldnt wait to try it out!

zach had to wait a few hours before dad thought he should try to fish. so, by the time we were down on the dock, sunset had approached us. tried to get some videos of my boys fishin together, but only managed to capture a few pics. one of which is the most important one. the pic of zachary and dad with his very first fish! tom said it was a small mouth bass. measured about 7 inches in length, but boy, zachary was so proud. and so was his dad and mom!

i look forward to future fishin outtings. i'm sure my boys will love going together. i will probably not be included, but once again, another reason why i stand out as the pink in this house of blue...
