Fishing Trip
Some of you may remember a post about a disastrous fishing trip we took as a family. Here’s that post if you’re interested.
By this point in my parenting career, I knew how to strike a good bargain. Will could go on the fishing trip with Dave and Mikey and I would stay home and not sit still in a boat in the middle of the ocean feeling like we were going to puke. Win-Win.
Also, it seemed like they had much better luck without us. Our feelings are not hurt at all. We were happy to hold down the fort with the doggies.
