Another amazing thing about our daddy is that he is a FISH MAGNET. This means if you go fishing with him...you catch fish! Joey has been asking when he will go fishing and I have told him as soon as daddy gets home. Well yesterday it was a reality as we went up to Loon Lake. We also brought with us the radiant Emma Thompson and this my friends was her first time fishing! Needless to say with the fish magnet the end result is going to be good. Tom thought Emma caught about 20 fish and Joey around 30. They were a hoot!
The scene was set on the dock in the bay at Granite Point. I might add that the dock clearly has a "No fishing" sign posted, but this does not necessarily mean anything when you have been coming to the lake for your whole life! (that would be TOM!) For the first round of fishing Emma and Joey took turns with the pole. They would pick out the corn kernel and Tom would bait the hook. Tom helped a little getting the fish on the hook and the kids would reel them in. We got to touch the fish, kiss the fish and watch them in the bucket.
On the second round of fishing Emma fished with Joey's Grandpa while Joey fished with his daddy. This too was very exciting! In the end Joey and Emma each chose a fish for daddy to gut and clean and then of course take home. We gave the Thompson's some cooking instructions so it will be interesting to see how that all turned out!
Thanks for the great fishing day Emma! We are glad you were able to join us! How cool that we were with you on your first big fishing day!

Looks like so much fun! I haven't been fishing since I was 4, so I am very impressed with Emma and Joey's success! I miss you friend and hope to catch up with you soon :) XOXO
Absolutely adorable! I haven't been fishing since I was little and I remember getting so frustrated because it to forever to catch something. Looks like I'll need to call Tom if I ever want to give it another go. I'll call you too as long as you bring margaritas! ;)
So cute! Tom might need to give ME some lessons. All I ever catch is weeds.
Emma absolutely LOVED this!!! She was so excited about being able to finally go fishing and then she actually caught something. Thank you all so much for taking her - not only to help mommy and daddy with moving - but also to do such fun things! She absolutely adores you guys, as do we! XOXO
