We're stuck in Kansas...

So we went fishing. Our flight from Kansas City to Atlanta was delayed, so we were going to miss our connecting flight to Virginia. It was a long, stressful afternoon on the phone with Delta trying figure out how to get home. Thankfully my dad was able to get through to someone helpful and got us on a flight tomorrow, that hopefully will actually make it home. After the stress and tears were over, we headed out to my dad's lake for a little fishing.
Dad tried to catch a fish from this stump and decided to make it a little more challenging for himself.
It was an absolutely perfect evening and nothing could have been better to lift my spirits...well, the Culver's butterburger and oreo/peanut butter ice cream helped too.
Alison did awesome. We figured she would last all of 2 minutes, but she sure did prove us wrong. This child has no fear when she's around water, which is good and bad. She had a blast climbing all over the boat and splashing in the water.
I was determined to catch a fish so Alison could actually see one. After 2 jumped off our lines, we were excited to finally get one in the boat.
Alison wasn't too sure about the fish, especially after she touched it. But she did a great job calling the fish for us. It was pretty cute hearing her say, "Here fishy, fishy!".
