Weekend Excursions

Hooked on fishing was last weekend, so for our first time we went. The girls were really looking forward to it, and Juan is excited on any outing.

We first got there and found our fishing poles. Luis had Juan on his shoulders and was caring his and Lydia's fishing poles. Ali had to carry her own. So next was the bait. We found the table with little paper cups and the biggest, fattest worms you have ever seen. Luis looked at me and said theres the bait. (His hands were full already. I had nothing in my hands.) So theres the bait. My response was what do you want me to do? A man walking by thought is was funny. But after that I got 3 cups. After that we found the pools for first timers, guaranteed a fish. So we put everything down, and found a pole with a fish already on it.

After we got our fish we went to the cleaning table. I have to say I am happy we don't have pictures of that. It was a little traumatizing for me, the girls were ok with it all.

After we went home and BB-Q the fish. We had never had cat fish before and now we know why. Next year we will definitely go back to hooked on fish day. We will not be taking the fish home.

The Cook's and Luis and the girls went to the park and collected caterpillars this weekend and today we woke up to an invasion of the caterpillars in the kitchen. The girls where worried that they would be to cold in the garage and we left them on the counter in a box and this morning I woke up to them crawling all over my kitchen. The girls picked them up but I was afraid that I was going to step on one that I had missed.

To keep them from escaping again, I then modified the box so that they will not escape again because they are contained with the netting.

So after worrying all day about squishing a caterpillar I felt a squish under my foot and saw these from Juan's dinner.
