Gone Fishing

This morning Cole took Cade fishing. They started out getting donuts for breakfast and then went and got some gear (totally a guys morning)! He was most fascinated with the worms. By far. He wanted to bury them in their little cup, play with them, and poke them. But he wouldn't touch them. Cole told him to watch the pole for any movement. Then while they would wait Cade would come up behind Cole and poke him (so that the pole would wiggle) and then say all surprised, "What was that?!" It was a little hard for him to be patient and he kept wanting to throw rocks into the water. But he did catch a little 4.5 inch bass. Cade was very worried that they were hurting the fish so they let the fish back into the water. I guess we will have to have the 'circle of life' lesson soon.

The first thing Cade said to me when he got home was that the big fish ate the pole. And then he said that he did not tangle the line. Very believable. Cole clarified saying one of their bigger fish did get away with a hook in its mouth and they decided to come home when the line was too tangled to go on-presumably by Cade. 

And can I just say these are the cutest pictures ever!! I love them. I usually try to pick a few best pictures whenever I post but I just had to include several of these. Maybe it is because he is in the phase where as soon as I pull out the camera he decides that it is the best time to be super difficult. Smiling turns into pulling teeth. But these look cute and he is caught in action. And I think that me not being there had something to do with it. I like seeing what I missed  Love my little guy. 

I like how he is giving a kind of 'cool guy' stance here. Can't you just see this same look in like 16 years?! But hopefully with a much bigger fish! ;)
