Gone fishing

You should have seen the size of the one that got away. Really. It was huge.

The water was absolutely freezing. But somehow, the boys didn't seem to care.

Why would you when there are rope swings to play on? Thank goodness the stream is only a 10 minute walk away from our house and a hot bath.

I earned my 'Good Mother' badge today. And it arrived in the post, from Gina.

Okay, so she didn't exactly award it to me with that in mind. But hey, as a parent, sometimes you just need to give yourself a pat on the back. Did I mention how cold the water was?
