Happy Labor Day

Today was Labor Day, so Jake and I were both off work. We went out to the lake to have lunch with Jake's parents at their boat club, and after lunch, we took Kade out on the dock to do some fishing. He had his Sponge Bob fishing pole with his Plankton lure. This was the first time Kade has ever been fishing. He really loved it! He didn't catch anything just yet. We didn't put any bait or a hook on the pole. We just let him practice casting and reeling. He did really good! Plankton ended up falling off the end of the pole, so we had to explain to Kade that Plankton wanted to go swimming with the fish, and we couldn't get him back. He was okay with that, although he did keep asking us where Plankton was. After fishing, we took him out on Jake's uncle's boat for his first ever boat ride. He especially liked the boat ride! He kept saying, "It's really windy." After we left the lake, we went back to my grandma's house to do a little swimming in her pool and had a cook out over there with our friends Chad & Noel and their daughters Araya & Kaya. So overall we had a busy day, but it was filled with lots of fun things! We had a really good day!
