Fishing/Voice Lessons

Hey guys!!

So this afternoon, my brother and I (Adam) took our boat out on the lake and went fishing! I have only fished once maybe twice in a boat before. We brought Amy along with us, and Ranger was on the shore the whole time whining. We sat out there for a while without any luck, when Adam finally caught a crappie (kind of fish)! He usually catches a lot of fish, he's a great fisherman. Adam put the fish in the fish net that was tied to the boat, and threw it in. put it went in sideways, and the door thingy came open, and the fish got out :( But luckily I snapped this picture before it happened:









Just a few minutes later, Adam caught another crappie! Here is a pic of Adam and that fish:









We made sure that we put the basket in the water right, and so it didn't get away.

I was kind of bummed that I hadn't caught anything, when I got a big tug on the line. I yelled, "I got one!!" I quickly reeled the line in, and pulled the big crappie up and into the boat. Adam got it off the hook, and handed it to me. He took this picture of me and the fish:

After Adam took the picture, I put the fish in the fish net with Adam's fish, and gently set it in the water.

A little while later, I got another big tug on the line! I was like, "I got another one!!" I quickly reeled the line in and then took the fish off the hook. The fish was another crappie, but it was smaller than the other one I had caught, and the ones that Adam had caught. I set down the fish, while I was doing something, but I didn't want him to not be able to breath for that long, so I took him by the mouth, and set him in the water for a second while I was holding him. But, unfortunately he got away :( But luckily I got a picture of him before he got away :)









We fished for a few minutes longer (didn't catch anything) before I had to go to voice lessons. So we paddled back to the shore, and pulled the boat ashore. I ran up to the house, changed clothes, brushed my teeth, and ran downstairs, and into the van. I brushed my hair on the way.

I finished the song 'Own My Own' from Les Miserables. It's a really pretty song! I really like it. The first time I sung it today, I didn't sing it very good, but when I had a drink of water I did a lot better. I thought I did it really good.

The song I'm singing this week is called Unexpected Song from Song and Dance. It's really pretty too. The first two pages (it's 5 pages long) I'm good at, but on the third page, on one part it goes down to the G below middle C, and I can't exactly do that.. Then it changes keys, and is higher, and I'm fairly good at that. I need to practice it, then I'll get it better.

Well, it's midnight, so I guess I better go :P I will post more soon (I got quite a bit to post about). Here are some more pictures from fishing:
