Catching up.

Jade and Luke are good friends. Luke is Jared's den leader's boy, and he's the same age as Jade. She wouldn't DARE touch those worms, but she sure loved watching Luke play with them.

Jade likes to get in on the action too.

I couldn't get too many shots of Jared. He and Doug moved all over the lake trying to get a bite. The sun was just about to go down, and once it did, more fish were caught.

There were a few things that happened over the course of the weeks my computer was down. One of them was Jared's cub scout pack Fishing Derby a few weeks ago. As many of you know, our park has a catch and release lake, and that's where we all congregated. Doug has invested in this "Banjo Minnow" bait he saw in an infomercial, so we tried it out that day. Well, THEY tried it out. I don't fish. It's kind of boring to me, unless you go at the right time when the sun is down and the breeze picks up. Then it's really relaxing. Still, I'm good with a drink and a book. Anyway, this pack activity was to prepare the boys for the camping trip we went on last weekend. I'm hoping one of the moms will post pics and I can get those from her to show you all. Doug and Jared didn't catch anything (so much for the Banjo Minnow crap), but other kids did. They used bait like hot dogs and white bread. Figures. Still, it was good times!
