summer nights

 There is an island in the middle of this lake that has a bridge out to it. I love going fishing here with the kids. Benches, grass, caterpillars, and anything you could need for an evening fishing trip.

 Same island. Passing the time while dad keeps fishing.

 Remi caught a fish.

 Broden caught a fish!

 Alissa enjoys moving her chair, sitting in it, then moving it again and sitting in it, over and over again.

Blake caught one! I don't know what it is, maybe large mouth bass?

 Remi learned to put her own worm on the line. This is nice for dad, he can fish instead of getting all their lines ready all the time, and nice for me, I don't have to do it either.

Alissa likes "trying" to catch fish too. I think she maybe did reel one in. It didn't hold her interest for as long as her chair though.

We have enjoyed going fishing at a couple of the lakes near our house and had so much fun. The kids love catching fish and exploring new places! On time when we went there were caterpillars EVERYWHERE. You would look at the grass and it looked like it was moving. The kids thought it was awesome. They probably caught 20 caterpillars and kept them in the worm container. When we got home we convinced them to build a house for the caterpillars outside. So they let them go out there and we had caterpillars everywhere for a while. On our screen door, the side of the house, the windows, the porch, our trees, our shed, all over the place. The kids thought it was great and I loved that they were entertained by them for hours. I don't know if it had anything to do with the same caterpillars, but we had one bush in our back yard that gets so many butterflies on it. We counted 18 on there one day. There are tons of butterflies here. I made the kids bug nets and they caught lots of butterflies in them. Now they try to catch all the squirrels in our back yard. They certainly love animals, especially catching them.
