That is what Hannah said at least fifty times Saturday! Jimmy got off work Saturday morning and off we went, boat in tow, fishing poles loaded (including their Barbie ones) and worms waiting for their destiny, heading to the Meherrin. We've been several time this year and have yet to catch a fish. Ok, Jimmy and I did catch two fish (if you include the one minnow) one morning when we went with Leah, but that doesn't really count. Jimmy has a special "hole" that has been occupied every time we've been this year, but Saturday it was all ours. As soon as we anchored the boat I said to the girls, "This is gonna be the day girls. We're gonna catch some fish today!" And boy was I right. Almost as soon as Jimmy cast his first line, he caught a fish and that was the start to the 35 white perch we caught. It started immediately with the first fish, "This is the best fishing day ever!" Rebecca and Leah didn't fish, they just watched and played in the boat. Hannah did fish, but unfortanately she didn't catch anything. But she obviously had a GREAT time, so we heard, over and over again. At one point, Jimmy and I just looked at each other and laughed, knowing it was coming. When we were done Jimmy and Hannah headed over to the firehouse to clean all the fish. I was going to pick up one of their cousins for the rest of the day and just knew Hannah would want to come with us, but cleaning fish with daddy was way more fun to her. Later in the evening the girls and I headed to RR for the night to visit Jimmy's parents and stay the night. Trudy painted the girls nails and said that in the little amount of time it took to paint Hannah's nails she said about five times, "This was the best fishing day ever!" This will definitely be a day that she will always remember. This is a picture of her in her fishing getup waiting to go clean the fish. Oh, I forgot to take my camera with me to the river, so I don't have any pictures. Sorry!!
