We have had my sister-in-law, Anna, and my really into fishing brother-in-law, Justin, visiting from D.C. the past few days and yesterday Brent, Gpa Steve, Justin and Hunter went out fishing on Justin's boat. They were out for a few hours and I guess Hunter did really well in the boat. He(with Brent's help) caught a quiet large Northern and caught it on Hunter's little Spiderman fishing pole. We were all outside at a little before ten last night watching Justin clean the fish. It was sick and gross, yet in a fascinating sort of way. The fish wasn't dead, so he had to kind of knock it out before he cut it. He'd hit it on its head and then start cutting down its body(gross, huh?!) Anyway, Hunter wanted to watch it and so we let him. When Justin bopped the fish on the head Hunter said, "Ohhh, my head!" in a funny voice. Then when Justin cut down its body he said, "Ohhh! My whole body!" It was SOO funny! We all just stood around laughing for awhile. Brent went out with Steve and Justin again tonight for some serious fishing, and Anna and I took the boys to the dam to do a little fishing. The boys were all over the place making Anna and I nervous since we were close to water, so we didn't stay long, but we stayed long enough for me to catch my first fish ever in Minnesota! I caught a pretty good size Bass. I even held the thing! It didn't squirm, but I had a plan if it did. I was going to throw it as fast as I could and run away screaming. I'm getting OK with touching gross things little by little. You'd think I wouldn't mind touching fish since I touch gross things like spit up and boogers all day, but fish still gross me out. Anyway, it was a proud moment.
Well, I seem to have sinus infection. I'm debating whether or not to go to the doctor tomorrow and just get it over with. I have so much sinus pressure right now in my ears I think they may just pop right off my head. Oh it hurts. So, I'm going to go try to fall asleep and pretend they don't hurt. Here are some random pictures from the last few days: (we're planning a trip to Como Park Zoo one of these days this week, so that will be exciting!)
(ps. In the one picture Hunter is doing the "This little Piggy" with Callie)

I had a good chuckle about your plan if your fish started to squrim! Way to think ahead.
Congrats on the fish, and your new mad linking skills! I love the photos. :)
Thanks for the story Sarah. You didn't appear to be nervous in the picture . . . I noticed only after reading the blog that you were holding the fish pretty far out from you:)
You've lived here how many years without catching a fish!??! Well, at least now you can say you're a true Minnesotan. No more Iowa jokes... :)
