Zoe's First Fishing Trip

We headed down to Lewiston on Friday afternoon so Zoe could go to a friends birthday party. While we were down there we decided to stay over at Jeff and Ali's house and take some of the kids fishing up on Dworkshak resivoir. It turned out to be a beautiful sunny day and after the kids took unplanned naps in the morning everyone was happy. We woke up pretty early to get up there which made them a little tired. Jeff was smart and brought a couple of sleeping bags for them to get under when they got a little cold.

Zoe started of the day by catching her first fish. She had fun realing it in on her Barbie fishing pole. All though once it was in the boat I'm not so sure she wanted much to do with it.


If you look close at the next picture you will notice that Zoe is wearing a different coat. Well....we pulled over in a cove to fish and we got out of the boat to fish from the bank. While we were fishing Jenna and Zoe decided to climb up the rather steep bank for fun. While coming down Zoe picked up a little to much speed and was not able to stop by the time she got to the water and you guessed it......SPLASH she took a swim. When I turned around I just saw Zoe clinging to the side of the boat. All in all she handled it pretty well. We got her out of the wet close and wraped up in the sleeping bag and she was back to fishing. By the end of the day thanks to the nice sunny day she was able to change out of Jacksons spare underware (she wasn't to happy about putting on boys underware but Jeff and I informed her that kids that decide to swim in there cloths don't realy get a choice.)


Not only was it fun to be out fishing but it was fun for Zoe to play with Jenna and Jackson. She has missed her friends from Lewiston alot since moving to Spokane.
