Fishing, fireworks, and what not

We went out fishing for the 4th. Rueben found this cool lake full of fishies. Sam took his Scooby Doo fishing pole and we used hotdog for bait. As soon as he casted he snagged a fish. So proud of him.
Our friends. They kept going after the bait once it was in the water.

Hey, how you doing?


Reeling like a pro.


Proudly showing off his first catch. He kept saying "let's take it home so I can eat it".

The bait. This hornet was going crazy stinging the hotdog over and over. Rueben finally cut it in half. Surprisingly, it survived and crawled away, hurled itself onto the lake where it met death in the form of a fish.



So it rained in the evening and we didn't feel like driving 15 miles to see fireworks. We bought some from Sam's and had our own little show in front of our house. It was very much to our surprise that Isabelle did not like the firecrackers at all. She didn't want to be part of the festivities. Apparently there is something she is afraid about.

"all done!" We took pity on her and took her inside.

"Is it dark enough?"


Isa on the couch watching TV while we watched the fireworks outside. She would not come out.



Yes, my boy is silly. Wearing his PJ's and his cowboy hat. Loving the firework show put on by daddy.

Poor Isa! We didn't even try the fireworks with Julien. If you saw our blog, the parade was loud and scary enough.
