I forgot

I forgot to tell you about what we did Friday night. We took Caleb fishing at a friends house. He has a pond behind his house with a few fish. and we took our poles which are part of our 72 hour kits and we went fishing. We have had a push up here to get our 72 hour kits in order so we have been working on that. And we just kind of hoped that they worked and we had everything, until Eric took his to the scout camp this last week. And he ate exclusively from his 72 hour kit his water and everything! He had some good ideas after the experience that he is going to remedy with his kit. So we had a good dinner and the fish in the pond did not really go for our fake bait that we had in our kits, so we borrowed some hot dogs and man did they love those!!!!! We caught several fish and we threw them all back. It is not our pond after all! But Caleb loves to fish. My mom will love hearing that as she is the fishing queen. Now she can come up and do her favorite activity with her grandson. Kill two birds with one stone. But I do have to warn you Mom, he is NOT a quiet fisher so try not to fish for the ones scared by loud noises. He does whisper though, maybe you can get him to whisper the whole time.... just as likely not! Then we started our camp fire and Caleb got so involved in that we put our poles up. And we ate rice and salmon cooked over the fire, and we had fruit bars for dessert. It was good! All in All we had a blast!
