Paul really came through for us!! Allen is out of town and Porter had cub scout camp today. He was so excited to show me his fish he caught and brought home!
He really wanted to show Dad and cook it when he gets home. So we called Uncle Paul (the fisherman) and asked some questions. We found out that you can not save a whole trout that long, even in the freezer. And this very nauseous Mom in her 1st trimester could not even think about cleaning the fish without gagging.
But the thought of bursting his bubble of excitement was so sad. Luckily, Paul shared in his excitement and said he would be right over. It was 8:00 at night and he hopped in the car and drove straight over and helped Porter clean his fish. I was SO grateful! I stayed back and let them get to work :)
The girls were very interested. But had a lot of questions. Rylee just kept asking, "Why are him's eyes open". We taught a few life lessons that night :)
Paul cleaned the fish, packaged it all up, put it in the freezer, and then cleaned the kitchen so there was no fishy smell left.
Thank you Paul! You saved us!
