Nate received a fishing pole as a gift from Uncle Robert and his family this year and has been begging to use it. He has diligently been practicing casting in the back yard and today he was able to break it in a little. The city released catfish into a local swimming pool and allowed children ages 3-6 to get some experience with fishing, in hopes to develop a life long passion for this sport. I think it seems a little cruel, but whatever...
His first attempt was the shallow baby pool but they were not really biting so we moved over to the deeper pool.
Within minutes he and Daddy reeled in their first catch!
He was ready to go again after that first adrenalin rush...he kept asking me, "Mommy did you see that fish fight me?".
We caught 3 (you get two with the ticket you purchase and pay for up to 3 additional ones), the last one (pictured above) was the largest we caught today. They even cleaned them for us. Nate has no interest whatsoever in eating them but he is ready to go fishing again!
After cleaning up and getting 'Rissa down for a nap, we headed over to join some fellow Texans fans (and dear friends) in cheering for our boys as they played in their first-in-franchise-history playoff game...and they pulled off a great win!
Unfortunately the only pic I got of the fan clan was Darryl cooking up some mean meats for the festivities.
It was a happy day in the Yancy household today! Here's hoping the Texans can pull out a miracle win against Baltimore next week (fingers crossed)!
