Just For The Halibut

Today Big A and grandpa packed their lunches, loaded up the boat and headed for Tomales Bay to try their hands at halibut fishing.

Tonight we had pasta for dinner.

Guess that tells you how well the trip went! But like I always tell the kids... Winning isn't important. Having fun is what's important, and they certainly did have fun! And for the record, just because they didn't catch halibut doesn't mean they didn't catch anything...

Because CLEARLY Big A caught.... SOMETHING! What is it, you ask?? Why the biggest starfish you've ever seen, of course! Yes, he caught a HUGH starfish with his fishing pole. CRAZY!

This pelican swooped down and landed in the water right next to the boat so Big A shared the bait with him. Turns out the seagulls weren't too happy with that and they let Big A know it! He came home with a bird poop splat the size of a half dollar on top of his hat. (Yes, I'm laughing!)

And when they weren't fishing in the bay they were exploring the sea shore, rocks and tide pools searching for... Well... Just about anything!

I'm bummed that they didn't bring us some halibut for dinner, but I'm glad that they had a day of fun and adventure! Happy fishing, boys!
