Fishing with my Husband

Aiden went to visit his Dad on Sunday, so Nick and I took advantage of the quite time and the No Fishing License Required weekend, and went fishing at Lake Meade in Suffolk, VA.

We rented a Jon boat with a motor. We loaded everything into the boat and Nick told me to get in so he could push us off. I noticed that water was coming into the boat...fast. (You can laugh at this next part.) I figured it would just flow back out once we started the motor and got going. Well I guess the spark plug looking thing the guy handed to me was a plug for the hole and that I was supposed to put it in the hole BEFORE getting into the boat and having Nick push us off the shore. Nobody told me this. So here we are sinking in the lake off of the shore with old men laughing at us and Nick telling me how much of a blonde I am. So we got back to shore before we sunk. Somehow I managed to get my shorts soaked. We put our stuff in the new boat and I got a lesson on how to plug a boat BEFORE getting in it. We ended the trip 6 hours later with Nick catching 4 fish, and me catching sunburned knees because Nick didn't tell me that wearing shorts when you go fishing is a bad idea. Oh well! We survived and had a lot of fun.

As much as I missed Aiden, I do enjoy the times he goes and visits with his dad because Nick and I get alone time without having to pay for a sitter! It's funny because we act like kids when we don't have any kids to watch haha! I am grateful for him!
