Camden has started going to youth group at church. She has been hit or miss this summer because of golf, but has gone to a few Sunday afternoon meetings and did go to Holiday World in July. This Sunday was the fall kick-off with a lake party at one of our friends on Lake Waveland. I dropped her off at the church at 2:30 and picked her up at 6.
Before she could get out of the van, Sophia (who has been attending too) ran over and said, "Camden got a fish stuck in her foot." What?
Camden got in the car and said not 5 minutes in the lake and a catfish had stabbed one of it's fins into her foot. Thankfully one of the adults helped her to the beach, pulled the fish off, and helped clean her foot. She went back to the families house and got it washed off well in their tub then stayed there the rest of the day. She played some yard games and just sat with those who were at the house. She still had a good time.
I had never heard of such a thing, but when she texted Kevin to let him know, he asked if she rubbed the fishes belly on the cut. Apparently, catfish are known for doing this and an old fisherman's trick to relieve the pain is to do that. Now we know.
Camden says she's not swimming in a lake for a long time!
