michigan is known for their many lakes. unfortunately, we have not really taken advantage of this fact. most people around here have cottages or go "up north" to their lake houses during the weekends of the spring/summer months. but with jimmy's hectic work schedule, we can't really do that. BUT luckily, we don't live too far from several small lakes. and i just recently realized how much jimmy enjoys being on a boat and fishing. i think it brings back many fond childhood memories for him. so, we decided to spend memorial day on a pontoon boat with his family. the little lake near our home was only like 10 minutes away from our house! and the renting of the boat was fairly cheap. jimmy was excited to go fishing with addison for the first time. and addison was beyond thrilled for this little excursion. she had been anticipating it for days! we didn't have any fishing gear so the day before, the three of us set out to this big outdoor store and bought poles, hooks, weights, bobbers, tackle box (a kids spiderman one that is... addison picked it out), hats, coolers, etc, etc! i was absolutely amazed at how many different kinds/types of weights and hooks that are offered for fishing! i mean, don't they generally all do the same thing??? anyway, i packed sandwiches, salads, chips, fruit, drinks, cookies for our outing. and jimmy prepped all the poles and got everything ready. he was so excited. we were all set! here are some photos of our day...
we're out on a BOAT! peace, y'all!
