My awesome day!

I'm at my sister Carmen's house right now so i can't post any pics of my amazingly fun day yesterday. me and the family went to Oak Harbor for a fishing trip. it sounds weird, i know, but it was really fun! we drove about an hour then rode a ferry for about half an hour. then we drove 20 minutes until we got to the docks. it looked really cool as we walked on the dock, passing by all the large and small boats just floating in the water. i just loved looking at them! when we got to the spot, there were a lot of people fishing. it's not just any ordinary fishing either. it's Smelt fishing! you know... the really small fish that swim in schools most the time! they are about 4-7 inches long. you have around 7 hooks on your pole and you drop it down into the water and bob up and down, until you fell a tug. then you just reel it in and you got yourself a fish! you can catch as many at a time as there are hooks on your pole. the most i've seen on one pole was 4. i had 2 on my pole for the most, but i caught 22 fish! yeah... i was counting! ha ha... it was a great day, but very cold and windy! when ever i caught a fish, i went crazy! we fished ofr about 3 hours before we had to catch the ferry. we had to wait for the ferry because it wasn't there yet, so we went to the beach! it was sooo cold and windy, i could barely look at the water! we wrote in the sand and played tag on the logs. whoever fell off was it... the ferry ride was fun, we went to the tip of the boat and could barely sAtnd!!! the wind was blasting us right in the faces! i have some pics of that, but i'll upload them in a few days, beacuse i won't be back home till Sunday. that all might not sound very fun to you, but it was one of those momnets of... "You Had To Be There!" (:
