Go Fish!!!

So, I'd been noticing that my life had been super lame, as of late, and I needed to change that.  Pronto.  Afterall, I'm a nice girl and I deserve to have a good time, right? Right!  And, thanks to Abraham Lincoln and our lovely Commanders in Chief, I had TWO three day weekends in a row.  The first one was a bust.  I can't even tell you what I did...I don't even know!  So, I was determined to make the second one count.  On Friday night, I started thinking about what I wanted to do and it came to me:  fishing!  Yes, I love to fish.  No, I'm not a hardcore fisher-woman (is that even a word!?!).  In fact, I'm not sure what I would even do if I actually caught something, though, I imagine I would probably scream and run away or something like that.  I mainly love fishing because it's so relaxing and super convenient at the moment, since my brother and his family live right across the street from a lake.  I didn't think that it would be feasible to go fishing that weekend since my brother and sis-in-law have been super busy, so I did what you do with all unrealized dreams: I put it on Facebook (lol).  And, much to my surprise, Melissa, my super awesome sister-in-law responded almost immediately and told me to come up and we could fish the next day!  Yessss!  So, I threw some stuff in a bag and headed up the hill, where I got to hang out with my crazy adorable nephews and, of course, David and Wiss!  The next day, we went fishing! 
Here's my happy reunion with my awesome, pink fishing pole!

My 4 year old nephew, Cy, wanted to use my pole, but it was too big for him to handle, so he said, "Here Auntie Rach.  You cast it and I'll hold it."  and that's exactly what we did. I casted the line a million times and then passed it over to him to hold and reel in!  haha  He's adorable!

Me casting, him holding  : )
Anyhow, it was an awesome day!  We all had a good time and Wiss even got the catch of the day...
A tumbleweed!

Good times!  : )
