We went to the state park where I usually catfish. We were planning on just going fishing like we frequently do, but my mom called in the middle of our preparations and they had just got home from camping...still had their trailer with them (not put away at the place they store it) so they just loaded a bit more stuff in it to eat and we all caravaned to the park and stayed!

It was gorgeous. The weather was sunny, crisp. My dad took the boys (who get bored after a while with fishing) on hikes and bike rides. We had a bon fire at night and made s'mores.

I caught a catfish, but it was too small to keep. I hooked it well, though and it didn't really damage it...so it lived to be caught another day! Otherwise, I stood on the shore, watching the sun sink and the shad sparkling on the top of the water in the sunlight...heaven on earth!

That DOES sound like heaven on earth! I love the water, and find it the most relaxing thing in the world to do; just sit and look at the water. Whether it's calm and slick as glass, or really choppy in a storm, it's always so lovely!
