Spring Break on Lake Secession

On Thursday we drove up to SC to spend a couple of days on the lake and get away before Spring Break was over. We enjoyed great family time. The boys absolutely loved "fishing"! They loved it so much there was no mention of TV. That was awesome. We fixed their rods w/ a float on the end & they casted and reeled it in all day long. Never mind it didn't have a hook on the end of it.
After fishing all afternoon Thursday and all day Friday with no one getting any bites, I was the only one who caught a fish late Friday afternoon about 7PM! WOO HOO Mommy! It was a whopping 5-6" catfish. We could have fed the family on that... just kidding! The thing had swallowed the hook and everything. Now, I'll bait my own hook but I still haven't mustered up the courage to take a fish off and certainly not a catfish! That night, the neighbors around the cove had some fireworks, so we hung out on the screened porch ate peach ice cream and enjoyed the fireworks show. A few minutes later, we got a "light show" of a different kind. A big thunderstorm came from no where. All our fishing poles, chairs etc were still out on the dock. So, poor Daddy had to run down there in the pouring rain, pounding thunder and flashing lightning to retreive our things. He got everything minus one chair that had been blown into the lake. Thankfully, the next day he was able to fish it out of the lake. We had such a great time that we look forward to spending many, many weekends on the lake this summer! The boys are going to love it & many priceless memories will be made!
