The Week had been long and stressful. Anna quit her job, and I had been running around to banks for several days, so we needed time to get out of the house.
We drove out to Whitewater and slept at the farm friday night, got up at 5 ish and drove out to Fall River near Eureka, KS for a day of fishing and swimming. After struggling to get a working pole, anna and lily took a nap on the shore bank while I swam down the river looking for a good hole. (I prefer swimming, holding my gear above my head because you dont have to navigate tricky banks and you get a good feel of water depth) Note - Where we were camping was not a public camp site. We literally drove through a field and navigated down a steep mud bank miles away from the road.
Anyway, I caught a small Drum Fish and took it back to Anna and Lily to get a picture with Lily and the fish - she was mad I woke her up :(
I saw several deer drinking from the water as I caught several more drum before deciding to go back to the girls. We made a fire and roasted some hotdogs and then went swimming in the calm water for an hour or so. Since Lily can now sit up on her own power, she just got into the water and played with the rocks.
It was such a great day!
The only real negative was that I got roasted by the sun. I hope in a few days i'll be able to put on a shirt again.....
