I can't believe that Casey is officially done with preschool. It seems like that year really flew by and the more shocking thing is that in a month or so we will be getting ready for kindergarten! His last day of school they had a class picnic which I was really disappointed but I was not able to go. Ryan had scheduled a fishing charter to go walleye fishing up on Lake Erie and I was planning to go. He didn't consult my calendar (otherwise known as my schedule for life) before booking. So needless to say the two events conflicted. Since the party was only like an hour long I decided to skip it but he went with Holly. Our Lake Erie trip was fun too. We were a little afraid of the weather as we were driving up but we ended up only having to come in for an hour or so while the storm went through. The first fish I caught I thought would go down in the record books as the largest fish ever caught on Lake Erie. I reeled and reeled and thought I would end up with bruised on my ribs from pulling so hard. After all that work I got the fish in and it was a huge sheephead. Little did I know that these fish are not apprecited on Lake Erie. The captain gave it a good whack over the head and threw it back in. So all that work for nothing! I did catch some nice walleyes then after that but there was always the chance that a big tug on the line could be a sheephead. We probably caught twice as many of those as walleye. The most comical part of the trip was when Chris (a friend of Ryan's) almost went for a swim. After a big thud I looked over to see feet straight in the air. Chris threw his line out and his feet slipped out from under him and some how he had miraculously caught himself on something under the boat. It was good for a laugh though. All in all, it was good trip and I think we caught something like 32 walleye...each of us getting to keep 6.
