On Sunday I took the kids to a section of Falls Lake known as Beaver Dam Lake. After yesterday's hike, Simon didn't want to go hiking again (he loves playing in the woods by hates hiking). So I said we'd go to a lake and he could magnet fish while Alice and I read. The point was just for us to be out of the house so Zac could do the kitchen painting uninterrupted.
The actual fishing was entirely unsuccessful. But magnet fishing he caught a few bits of metal, some hooks, and once his line even got tangled up in a fish attractor! Another time he accidentally threw his whole rod in the lake while casting, but we managed to rescue it with the magnet rope.
