Going Fishing

Today was fishing on the docks here at West Seattle. The local sportsman club puts a hundred trout in a tank for the kids to fish with bamboo poles. Addie did it a de years ago and caught a fish in the first minute. No such luck this time, we waited for 5 minutes and then gave up but kind of caught a fish when our pole got tangled with another kids when he was pulling his fish out of the tank. Addie and Calvin wanted to take the fish home but I explained if we took one home we would have to eat it and that put a quick end to the request. Later that morning we went for a walk on the beach since low tide had exposed the tide pools. Mid way through the walk a big bald eagle came down and spent some time on the beach eating the crabs that littered the sand. He didn't seem to mind us at all, Calvin got within 8 feet of him, and you truly forget how big they are.
