fishing with the boys

Today marked the 5th day of our family reunion.

It also marked the 9th day of my "running without stopping" training. I decided a couple weeks ago that I needed to break the habit of starting and stopping while running. So since I already knew that I could do a mile without stopping, that's where I started. I ran to the stop sign (1/2 mile) and back the first day. The next day I went to the next drive-way. The next day, to the next mailbox and so on. Today I completed 1.6 miles... with no stopping. I'm still kinda slow, but I figure once I get myself up to running for like 30 minutes at a time, then I can start working on some speed :) I'm almost there! Today's 1.6 miles was just over 20 minutes.

Anyways, continuing on, I have more than just running to talk about today. Oh, I have lots more. But I'm only choosing one thing to expound on right now.

We (dan and I) went fishing at the Elim pond with the 4 nephews.


Here they are... I do believe they all caught at least one fish at some point... though, some caught more than others ;)



Maybe it was because of their mad nasty huge-normous night crawlers?









Or maybe it was because they just have mad fishing skillz





Whatever the case...



They had fun doing it :)
