GONE FISHI'IN

This past Saturday was the fishing derby at down by the lake. Blake decided that he wanted his ol' buddy Mimi to tag along so she did. Keri stopped by the house to pick her up and Mimi was soooo ecstatic that she could not get out of the house fast enough to suit her. "Bye mom, bye dad!!!" she said as she whizzed past us barely brushing our cheeks with a kiss. She was grinning from ear to ear when she came home after it was all over. She said that afterward they all went to Red Robin for lunch. Bubba and his dad Neil joined with them. Later in the evening Blake came over to the house. When his dad Wade came to pick him up he regaled us with the story of what happened at the fishing derby. He said that Blake is such a natural at fishing which I totally believe. Blake does play sports such as soccer, basketball and baseball but is not great at it however he does have great hand/eye coordination for casting the line out into the lake. Our Mimi is completely the opposite. She is great at gymnastics, soccer and just about anything that has to do with running but does not have great hand/eye coordination. I must say that she rather sucks at it. Can't throw the baseball worth a darn nor hit it. The same seems to be true of casting out her line. Wade says that they let Mimi use Bailey's pole and the hook went straight up in the air then straight down. Blake tried to teach her how to do it but she just couldn't quite get it. Needless to say she did not catch anything but Blake one the other hand caught a nice size trout. Wade then said that he could not believe how much mac 'n' cheese Mimi could pack away. Now that was no surprise to me.
