Casey's foot hurts...

So today started out kind of slow. Casey went off to fill in the lake while me and Steve slept. Once Casey got out of work Steve came over shortly after. We decided we wanted to ride our bikes out to the lake we were looking so hard for yesterday. So we packed up the gear and started riding. Steve's bike surely wasn't made for that kind of off roading, and neither was Casey's. So we rode on down the path for a while and eventually we were able to make it to the lake after going through mud and trailblazing. Once we got there me and Steve set up our fishing poles and got to work while Casey went and wandered around as usual. After a while I decided to travel down the path more to find out where it came out on the road, and of course we passed the trail multiple times the previous day. Fishing was slow at the lake and right when we were about to leave Steve was able to catch a perch. We put it in a tupperware container and rode home as quick as we could. Once we got there we put the perch in the fish tank, and fortunately he survived. We then decided to drive out to the path and just walk down it to the lake after that. Once again fishing was slow. Casey wanted to cast his line near some lillypads hoping to catch something, but all he managed to catch was a tree. He then told Steve to go untangle his line, but unfortunately there was a wall of prickers Steve couldn't get past. Casey then decided to take off his shoes and walk through the disgusting water to get the line. He was able to make it out there, and on the way back he stepped on something sharp. When he got back onto the rocks he was just leaving bloody footsteps everywhere. So he washed it off a little and then put his shoes back on. We sat around a little longer trying to catch anything, but there was nothing. It was starting to rain and Steve remembered he left his windows open, so we headed back. When we got back we decided we should move some of the fish into the smaller fish tank, so we filled it up and moved the big perch into there. Tomorrow we have some more shopping planned and of course more fishing or geocaching. Casey has the next 2 days off from work too so that means we can just fit even more into the day. There's pictures of much of this but I don't feel like adding them now. Casey, add the pictures.
