Return of the Bullheads

After a long weekend in Arizona (I know that it is a dry heat but 108 is still just DAMN hot), I was glad to come home to some great Washington weather. It's amazing how fast the grass grows when there is rain and a little bit of sunshine. But back to my rant....we headed to Lummi Island this weekend to help get the house ready for summer. My folks had already done a lot of the heavy lifting but we were able to do a little helping. Typically the bullheads are "back in season" by Memorial Day but we tried and tried this weekend and all Fischer caught (yep, only Fischer got a fish!) was a flounder. Shannon and my brother were convinced is was a "baby" halibut but it was a flounder.

I've Googled to figure out where those ol' Bullheads go but there is no information. I'm pretty sure not too many folks do their thesis on the migration of the Bullhead. But they are not back yet and the water felt REALLY cold this weekend. I hope they return soon as Fischer just can't stand it not catching something.

Hayden is now 6 years old and has several friends on the beach. It brought me a lot of joy to watch him go up and down the beach non-stop for the entire weekend with his friends. It reminded me a lot of when I was growing up on the beach and also watching my cousins at Whidbey Island. I have to sometimes remember that Fischer is not quite yet 3 years old and he shouldn't have as much freedom. :-)
