Kure Beach Pier, where we went with all those other people you see up there to the Step Up For Soldiers Kids Fishing Tournament early this morning.

Kai, a fisherman at heart.

Of course we had to take a break to go cool off in the ocean.

Back at it. I caught a baby sea bass!! and I touched it to get it off the hook and threw it back without squealing like a girl.

Kai caught a total of 5 fish.

Kelan's reeling form is awesome, right?

Jak was TOTALLY into the reeling portion of fishing.

Fishing buddy Caden.

Stingrays!!
