We took the boys to Lake Estes today to do a little bit of fishing. Logan and Ed had a blast! Tyler...well, let's just say that fishing requires patience. This is something Tyler definitely doesn't have. However, he did make a friend with a worm that he saved from becoming bait. I can't remember what he named the worm, but I do know that he was administering major resuscitation efforts once the worm became listless in his hand. He would not give up. His final technique was to drown the worm in a container of water (can you drown once you're dead?). The method to his madness was that the worm was drying up in the sun. Therefore, if he inundated with water, it would come back to life. Poor Tyler...poor worm. When he came back to check on his patient, I told him that the dog had knocked over the container, and the worm escaped. Tyler was upset at first, but he got over it. Poor worm. Ed and Logan got a few bites, but they didn't catch anything. We're thinking of going back tomorrow to try again.
For dinner this evening, we decided to cook hotdogs over the fire. It was so much fun! Of course, impatience overtook Tyler once again, and we had to cook his for him. We went back a little later and made smores. Now we're settling down to watch Alice in Wonderland--the perfect ending to a perfect day!
