Fishing Expedition!

 Adrian

It was a hard week because little man and I got sick this week! I thought we had avoided the whole thing when Chris was getting better, but I felt it one day and then the next it was awful. Luckily, for Adrian, it sounds worse than it was and he already seems to be doing better while I'm struggling to function. Chris says his airways are small so his coughing will always sound worse, and his low-grade fever didn't last more than a day. I'm also glad he is 3 months because technically he could have the littest amount of medicine since he's not a neonatal anymore. We only had to give it to him about 3 times when it was really bad and even drinking milk wasn't helping him. Luckily, he has some great sisters who love him so much and like to cuddle him. 

Claire

On Saturday, we went to a Star Police-sponsored event where they let the girls try fishing and had booths and bounce houses. They got prizes from a lot of the booths and we entered a raffle that they were sad we didn't win, it was the main thing they talked about honestly. The prizes were big toys too and it was so hard to explain that they couldn't just have one because all the other booths just had stickers and little things for them. Claire was sad she didn't catch her own fish, but it was warm and Adrian didn't want me to just stand there for too long so we didn't fish for a long time. Plus they were mostly just playing in the sand until Chris said they could hold the fishing rod and reel the line in slowly. 

Shay

During our fishing event, Shay actually caught a fish on her pole, even though Chris did all the work casting and putting the bait on and stuff. Shay has been asking to fish now that it's warmer and she really wants the fishing pole from Walmart that has Elsa and Anna on it. I told her I wouldn't buy it unless I knew she actually wanted to fish so this was perfect as a practice to see if they like it. The poles we had to borrow were for older kids and needed to be cast, but we saw some kids right next to us who were small with the button kind that was casting and catching their own fish! So now I have to buy the poles and Chris gets to take them to this cute little fishing hole over the summer to fish I guess. I was hoping they would be bored and decide they didn't want to, but they said they liked it, probably just to get the fishing pole...
