Fishing

This is Hawk Springs reservoir. It is about a 10 minute drive from our house. Or a 2 mile walk through the pasture. : ) The boys got fishing poles for Christmas so we decided to try them out. It was a successful trip. I determined it was doable to safely take the kids to the lake. They were able to cast and reel and the little boys played in the snow.

We were successful. We came home with several small fish. However they were dead when we got to the lake. We just collected them not actually caught them. Our crawdad had a nice meal.

The lake was frozen over except by the shore. The boys practiced casting and threw rocks on the ice.




Nana was too dangerous to handle. Plus she is bigger than me. She ventured about 3 feet out on the ice to retrieve Elijah's stuck bobber and fell through. She was tough though and never mentioned being freezing cold from the knees down.
