"I Gotta Fish, I Gotta Fish!"

One of the activities on our agenda while in Kentucky was to take you, Landon, on your first fishing excursion. You, Shelby, Mom, Dad, and DeeDee all headed to the banks of Barren River Lake to watch Daddy, I mean, you catch your first fish. You watched with such admiration and attention as Daddy baited the hook with those slimy worms. Then he showed you how to cast it in the water and just what to watch for. After a little while of watching and waiting, you grew disinterested, and were off to explore on your own. You really liked how the water lapped the bank and your shoes, and before we knew it your feet were soaking wet. Daddy showed you how to "skip" rocks across the water, and then it was your intent to do the same. You found all sizes of broken shale-like rocks to try to skip, but mostly just throw into the water. And then, what do you know, Daddy got a little nibble on the line. He quickly called you over to help him reel it in. It was a tiny perch, but none the less, it was your first fish! You were so excited and proud. When we got back to the cabin, you couldn't wait to tell everyone your fish tale!
