Fishing Outfit


So the key to 'letting' Cole go fishing for a week on a houseboat at Lake Powell is to act like it is the biggest inconvenience in the world. Every spring the Robinson Boys load up the trucks, boats, gear,etc. and head off for a week of fishing (i know-right?). Every year the Robinson Women put their heads together and think of things to do while they're gone. This year we had a few ideas which mostly didn't work except the trip to see Nim's Island (we do have the little one's-remember?) I also went to the cannery-my first time- and it was awesome, except for the fact that there are some crazy mormon women out there who are storing for a 30 year time period, because the cannery was out of a lot of stuff. I got sugar, instant milk, black beans, and spaghetti. That will serve as some pretty interesting meals huh? Anyway it was fun, and I finally feel like a real women because I have started my food storage! I also took the famous trip to the mall where I purchased my famous 'fishing outfit'. No, this isn't an outfit to wear fishing, but rather, an outfit for myself because Cole is out fishing. Leif is now old enough to go on this coveted trip and I have done some thinking as to what will I do when all of the kids are old enough to go and I am left at home alone while Cole has all the children. My decision is keep to the tradition. My mom always said to hold on to traditions!

Sounds like you had a fun week. You can always come down to Az and visit MOM & DAD. We do have malls here and you know that I love to visit malls.
