We are taking a family vacation this year to Ucluet, BC for some fishing. It was supposed to be Shannon's replacement for River's Inlet. However, like magic he found some vacation time to get up to River's Inlet. So now not only are we going to "Ukie" for a week but he is going to River's Inlet for a week. This trip is shorter than normal and he is flying home (don't ask how much that one way plane ticket costs because it puts me in a foul mood)...in fact that entire trip puts me in a foul mood. In fact, just thinking about it as I sit here referring the kids while Shannon is on yet another work trip to the mid-west puts me in an even more foul mood...but I degress. I wanted to talk about Fischer. That kid is OBSESSED with fishing and going to Ukie. I know that Shannon keeps talking about it but the trip is not until LATE AUGUST! A nearly 3 yr old has NO CONCEPT of time and he keeps thinking that we are going fishing next week. So he talks every day about fishing. His new topics include:
- Sea Bass fishing off the bow of the boat (a 3 yr old fishing off the bow of a boat)
- Shooting black bears with his marshmellow gun so they can them
- Going "to sea" to catch "butt" (aka Halibut)
- Sleeping on the boat for 6 days
I'm convinced that this kid has saltwater in his veins. They both do but Fischer is all about fishing right now. Hayden has decided after this season of Deadliest Catch that maybe he doesn't want to be a king crab fisherman after all. He says it looks cold and hitting ice off the boat really doesn't look like that much fun. Phewwww....we dodged a bullet there but we are not out of the woods.
