A Lazy Day At The Lake

The Saturday before Labor day was absolutely beautiful! We are finally past the 105 degree days and on to better things. One thing that Rhonald loves about our home is that it is about 5 minutes away from a lake. Since Cole loves fishing and the weather was great we decided to spend the afternoon fishing and playing by the water. Usually the boys go to the lake without me so I was quite honored when they asked me to join them! Cole had a blast! He loved learning about how to bait his hook and watching Rhonald throw it out in the water for him. His favorite thing is to reel the line in (or "real it out" as he calls it) so we are constantly reeling it in and throwing it back out. Cole was completely thrilled when Rhonald caught a fish and he got to help reel it in. He touched the fish and talked to it and then helped Rhonald gently put him back in the water. Cole did spend much of his time just staring at the water, daydreaming and playing with the bugs and rocks. He simply loves the outdoors and enjoyed every part of his day. When we were putting him to bed that night we asked him what his favorite part of the day was and he sweetly said "fishing with you guys. I loved it!" Oh how I see many more fishing days in our future.
