The boys have been so patient with me and Lucy being sick. I think my cough is going to linger forever. I decided fresh air would be good, though, and agreed to go fishing with the them. We brought Wesley along too. He is such a great kid. When we got to the pond, Olivia saw the boys fishing and joined us too. While the boys caught fish, Olivia caught a turtle. Brings back memories of fishing with Natalie when she was younger. She ALWAYS caught turtles.William and Alex did great. They caught lots of fish, just nothing very big.It always seems to get dark so fast at this time of year. But I guess that’s when the fish really like to bite. (So do the bugs!) Sticking it Out a little longer paid off.William got one last tug on his rod, to reel in this great catfish. It was a fabulous night. (And I’m so glad they know how to unhook their own fish now!)On the way home, Alex helped save this toad from a sure death in the road. I love that our neighborhood has so much wildlife. Next best thing to living in the country.😁
