Mommy And Me Day With Trey!!

A couple of Saturday's ago Daddy had to work and Alexis spent the night at a friends house and Trey couldn't find a friend to hang out with. He was sad. So feeling bad for him I asked "If you could do anything you wanted today what would it be" I already knew the answer so I was prepared. I want to go fishing Mom. So off we went. Now I am no fisher so I knew it was going to be interesting but I knew I could, or should I say we would figure it out. Trey suggested we go to the river and off we went to the bait store. Man it smells in there. Trey suggested live shrimp so I went with it. I did, for a minute wonder how they would end up on the hook but like I said, we would figure it out. Maybe some nice old fisherman would help. We'll see. That's how I roll.


So we get to the place that I consider a good place to fish at the river but Trey was not happy. He wanted to go down where all the people hang out and do that para surfing or whatever you call it. He fought with me a few minutes and realized that I wasn't budging. Those guys will tangle the lines and scare the fish and blah blah blah. So here we sat. We were the only ones there and I thought how the heck am I gonna get those shrimp on the hooks. I def was not touching them with my bare hands. Inside Darrels tackle box was a pair of gloves. I told Trey that if he caught those guys and got them out of the bait bucket that I would stick them on the hook. I wasn't thrilled about it but I really didn't want him getting stuck with a hook. He wasn't going for it. So I'm like well I guess we should just packem in and go cause I am not fetching those guys out of the bucket no way no sireee.

So Trey finally gave in and fetched the shrimp, stuck them in my glove and I proceeded to spear them. Poor things. It got easier with each fetch and stick. We only caught blow fish but it didn't matter to Trey. He had the time of his life. If you have ever fished out at the river you know what it is like to catch a blow fish. They puff up and grit their teeth. We giggled at them as they did their thing. When we threw them back they would do the back stoke in circles until they deflated and swam away. Too funny. Oh, getting them off the hook was tricky.

As the sun was setting we went to the spot that Trey recommended we fish and watched the surfer/sailor guys. It was a beautiful end to our Mom and Trey day.
