Kemmerlin boys' newest hobby - Fishing!

Who knew that we would be a family hitting the Bass Pro Shops for fishing equipment - or that Derek would love going fishing at the lake with the boys nearly every weekend. Of course we fell into the groove of really loving and using our beautiful lake (the very reason we moved here) just as there is major damage to the dam from all the torrential rains last fall. Subsequently, this fall our lake will be most likely completely drained for a period of time so the dam can be properly repaired. Until then - we are going to continue to enjoy it as much as we can - for every minute we can while it is only ~10' low. Even the beach is currently in need of more sand since the water has been forced out beyond our normal swimming area. But back to the increased fishing. Easter Sunday afternoon P'Bo, Jared and Christina came out to fish. Everyone loves it...especially Hatcher. He has yet to catch a fish - but he sure knows how to cast a reel. Aidan just throws his line and then wanders around the edge. Last time we were out there both boys ended up with their socks and shoes off running around along the edge getting covered in mud. They loved it! I am sure we will spend a good bit of time out there this summer - trying to catch more fish. Now if I could only get Derek to change the boys shoes before they head down to the mud. :)
