Sunday morning we stopped by the airport to pick up Rob's little sister who was returning from a month in Brazil. We got to hear all about her amazing trip over lunch at...you guessed it...IHOP.
That afternoon Rob's brother talked us to go fishing 'city style' a.k.a. at a fish farm. In the beginning I was just an observer, but got into it towards the end and snagged a fishy of my own.
The place was completely shaded, so it made a nice place to sit and relax while catching your feel of fish.
This was supposedly a great bait for the fish. It's fish pellets ground up with a bit of flour and water. It looked quite the gross to me, but it did work, so I guess I don't really have a leg to stand on.
Rob kept catching fish and then unhooking them before I could get a picture of him with it. He caught a really big fish and was giving me a pose when it flipped off it's hook and back into the water. I was a little slow with the camera, so it was that little guy's lucky day!
I tried to get a good shot of my fish, but it was splashing around too much for me to get in there really well. Don't know how it happened, but I hooked him in the belly instead of in the mouth. It was really weird, but I felt a little bad for him. I'm told this sappiness doesn't make for a good fisher. 
After an hour or so we ended up with nine to take home. It was pretty neat to watch them get cleaned. A little on the gross side, but still pretty neat. Marc was excited to cook them all up tasty for us, but we passed on it. It was strange enough to go from catching them to seeing them being cleaned. Not ready to move onto the eating part of that cycle just yet. Pretty soon they are getting some salmon in...maybe we'll catch some and cook 'em up then.
One last stop over at Rob's Mom's place so he could hang out with her dog, Jackson, who happens to be Rob's new best friend. Rob is convinced that Jackson is going to be joining our family soon, I am just not sure of it yet. He really is a cute little dog, but I am good with just Sox...for now.

Jackson is so cute! I think Sox needs a playmate... they will be so cute snuggling together on the bed. Just think of it Jan.
Way to be a fisherperson. I never thought you would have it in you to actually fish, but way to go! You rocked it. I will photoshop a fish into that picture for you and Rob!
Yeah, I can't eat something if I see it alive first! Grosses me out!
That fish bate looks like poop!
I want to move to your house. You two never run out of fun fabulous things to do. You always look like you are having the funnest time.
We are stuck in the "let's go out to dinner every night mode" And I have no self control and so I pretty much clean my plate. And we all know how HUGE restaurant portions are, and the evil things it does to your thighs. ;)
So, I am inspired by your latest couple of posts. I'm gonna find creative ways to have fun. I'll keep you updated with our progress.
