catching crawdads



over the weekend a friend and i were at nielsons park when we saw a sign about fishing in the pond. so naturally, we fished. and much to his surprise we caught 2!! duck. and chase. those were their names. (p.s. they were not anglers like i thought. apparently i am an angler..)

so sunday i got a fishing license.

that night i went up to my cabin with all my aunts and uncles. my uncle dave and kurt took a bunch of us out to strawberry to catch crawdads. we didn't go till dark, so it was 58 degrees by the time we got there. wes and i waded in the water up to our mid-thighs, would throw a piece of raw chicken into the water and then take a net to catch the crays. after we caught over 150, we had to rip their tails off and freeze them for the ride home. for anyone who thinks i'm a girly-girl, let it be known that i ripped many of their bodies in half...

we got back to the cabin and had a delicious midnight snack ;)

this weekend i've decided i love fishing. football. friends. family. and life.
