Labor Day Weekend

There is supposed to be really good fishing ponds all over DE like this one and so we spent a couple days trying them out with our new gear. The boys had a blast and Chad spent the whole time doing the dad thing and untangling, unhooking, and fixing poles.
Shea was not a fan of fishing and spent most of the time doing the chick thing and eating snacks. The worms apparently were the most disgusting thing she had ever seen.


The fish were small little bass and sun fish but they didn't care, as long as they caught a lot of them.

We took a fun little train ride on an old track and it dropped you off half way to eat lunch at a spot with a stream and then back.
The scariest part about the trip was Braden stepped on a wasp hive and we didn't realize until we saw him on the ground with hundreds of wasps attacking him and he was screaming. Chad ran and grabbed him and got them all off and I ran the other two kids away but not before braden had about 10-15 stings, chad had 10 stings and I got away with only 1. Poor kid, at least he's not allergic, he just came away with a life time phobia of wasps.

Sounds fun but Oh My Gosh about the stings! That's crazy! Poor kid! Very good things he's not allergic. Could you imagine? My mom had to wear a cast one time her foot swell up so bad.
