As the months dragged on, and the divorce really sunk in, my kids and I somehow started watching River Monsters each weekend on Netflix. We got so into it that we began fishing together, everywhere we could find around our hometown: ponds, lakes, you name it. We learned how to hook trout, bluegill, large mouth, and all the catfish we could find. Other fishermen--usually men--would laugh about a single mom who'd bring her kids fishing. Didn't they know fishing is my therapy? And by teaching my kids how to fish, they've learned a whole lot about life as well.
Anyway, back to my point.... my kids and I started fishing together because of Jeremy Wade's enthuism. Sure my kids wouldn't swim in a pool for weeks after watching an episode with piranha, but that's beside the point. And now since I've remarried, my husband has even been fishing a lot too.
NOW there's a contest: submit the best pic to win a fishing trip (for two) with JW. This would be a dream come true--see, I even posted about Mr. Wade on FB last year. Here: http://tinyurl.com/j5ued84 So, to make a long story even l.o.n.g.e.r., I'm gonna submit a pic; I just haven't figured out which one yet.
Here are some of the "blopper" shots we took. Mike, our oldest daughter, and I had way too much fun taking these pics.
I'm so lucky I didn't lose this smaller pic in the water.
After almost falling in a hole.
As little Jeremy just floats along like nothing's wrong.
Mike is such a good sport to help me with all of this.
He thought of some pretty hilarious pic ideas, too!

As you can bet, people at the pond kept looking at us like we were nuts. We didn't catch any fish that day, BUT we made another hilarious memory.
In closing....
In closing....
Is there anyone you've wanted to meet? I asked my mom and she said, "Elvis."
Side Note: Elvis has nothing on a biologist who can fish!
Sincerely,
