Fishing Trip!

Our family fishing trip!

 Walker driving the boat.

 Jake said that "this was so cool, [he] could do it everyday."

 Jake's first shark.

 Walker reeling in his first shark.

 Walker was mad that he had to put down the chips to take a picture. ;)

 Jake's bonnet head shark.

 He was so brave to hold the shark!!

 He even helped Dr. Billy throw it back!

 This is hilarious- Dr. Billy let go of the shark's tail to hold that dang sign, and the shark went crazy and flicked Walker in the face with his tail.  Haha!  This picture doesn't do it justice.

 My little bonnet head.

 Jake helping drive the boat. 

 Jake accidentally hooked his middle finger.  No joke, he rode around in that boat for a good 10 minutes with his middle finger up like that.

While we were in St. Simons, we took the boys on a kids' charter fishing trip.  Jake has been begging to go fishing on a "real boat," and I stumbled upon this kids' fishing trip and thought it was perfect.  Captain Dr. Billy (aka Billy Bee) is a former school superintendent that does these trips on the side, and he did a great job.  He was so good with the kids and very patient- I would HIGHLY recommend him; we're definitely going to use him again.

As you can tell from the pictures, Walker was mostly interested in eating chips the whole trip.  Jake, on the other hand, was so into shark fishing that he nicknamed himself "hammerhead Jake."  Ha!  We caught 4 little black-tip sharks and 2 bonnet head sharks (which are "cousins" to the hammerhead, according to Dr. Billy) between the four of us.  We probably could've caught more, but Mama started getting sea-sick and called it a day a little early.  Ha!
