Gone Fishing

On Sunday, after we got home from church, we all packed up and went fishing at a local lake. It was a bit chilly, but we did have some peeks of sun that warmed us up. The kids did great and I'm sure we'll be going again soon.

First, you pick out a nice, juicy worm. Katie and Will both took turns picking out worms.

( Note to my Dad: Yes, I even put worms on. It's funny, if it's something that's important to your kids, you just suck it up and do it.) :)

Here, Katie is using her Scooby Doo kid's fishing rod that we picked up at a neighbor's garage sale about a month ago. Paid 25 cents cuz the reel wasn't working. Five minutes with John = working fishing rod.

Will was up for fishing...for a while. Then he'd rather just sit and eat grapes....using the same hands he dug in the worms with. I'm sure those are the "good" germs. :)

Katie and Will were entertained by a caterpillar for a while. Miss Nature girl, herself even let it crawl onto her hands. (That'd be Katie, not me. Worms today - caterpillars later.)


And yes, the first fish of the day was a sunfish caught by ME, using Katie's Scooby Doo rod. John caught one shortly after, and then Katie caught one all by herself.
