A day at Steelwood...

On Friday, Mimi took Mommy, Granddaddy Jack, Grandmother Betty, and me to Steelwood to see the annual FISH SHOCK. This was the first time she had been to one and it was a great adventure. Her friends, Mrs. Laura and Mr. Roe, have a house there so they met us up at the Club House to check this whole fish shocking thing out.


Hey guys! Enough with the rocking chairs! I thought we came over here to see some FISH!?!?


Fish! WHERE are you?.....


Still waiting!......


Man! Are you SURE there are fish in this lake?


All right! Now we're talking! This is more like it!..... Mr. Fred drove Steelwood's party boat over to the boat that was shocking the fish. We rode behind it to see if we could see any fish! I helped "drive" the boat with this round cup holder contraption.


The shock boat had two long rods out in front and when they sent the currents into the water, it stuned the fish for a few minutes, so they can assess and weigh the fish in the lake.


YIPPEE!!! I FINALLY got to see some fish!!! They would float up to the top of the water like this for a few minutes and then when the shock wore off, they would swim away like nothing had ever happened. Pretty cool!


After all of the shocking was over, I got to watch the men weigh and measure the fish. I was mesmerized!....


They even let me TOUCH one! It was slimy, and smelly, and gross and I LOVED it!


Do I look at home on a boat or what?


After lunch at the Club House, we went over to the play ground. I loved the slide!....


AND this really cool tractor! Have I mentioned how well I can pedal now?


They also have a FIRE truck! It was so much fun to get to "ride" on it.


What a perfect end to a perfect day! Steelwood is now one of my favorite places to go. When are we coming back!?!?
