It's not ice fishing but it's pretty fun anyway!

Fishing on the Missouri always seems to be good...  at least when you have an amazing hubby like mine!  Last weekend it was really windy in town, but we decided to head up fishing anyway.  It is a great way to get out and burn off some energy for the little ones, and we were catching fish!  Can't beat that!  It was actually not too windy when we got to our fishing spots and the temperature on Sunday was really warm for January weather. 

Here are my guys with the first fish of the day.

 Clint is really good about constantly switching things up until we start catching fish.  After dead minnows weren't working real great, Clint changed up the bait and we started catching some nice fish! 

Here is a really nice brown trout that Clint caught.

 Dane is taking after his daddy and is quite the fisherman.  After we set the hook, we usually hand off the pole and he takes it from there!

 One of Dane's fish was proving to be quite the slippery little sucker!!! :) 

 They finally got him settled down!

 Right at the end of the day, Clint caught this beautiful, big brown trout!  What a nice fish!

 That night when Clint asked me what I wanted to do on Monday...  I didn't even have to think twice!  So, the next day we were back out on the River!

Kimber is usually on my back...  she has no common sense or fear of anything yet.  When she is off of my back one of us has to be on total kid duty to keep her out of trouble!  She does have a good time playing though!!!  Throwing rocks, using a stick as a fishing pole, harassing her brother, all of the things that little sisters do!

 Just to prove I was there and fishing too...  here I am with a small brown trout!  Not nearly as impressive as Clint's, but still fun to catch!

We had a wonderful time all weekend long...  then it was back to reality!  This weekend Clint and I only have Monday off together, so the kids and I are just working around the house and having fun hanging out with Grandma.  Tomorrow they are finally calling for some snow and cold weather!  Woo hooo!!!  Perhaps our next fishing pictures will be on the ice!
