Grandpa aka Papa took the kids fishing. They have been asking when they get to go fishing for a while now. Which was ironic because about the same time papa had considered taking them. It took a while to finally get a date pinned down but we did it.
Telling the kids that they were going to go fishing and that we actually had a date only inflated their asking. all of the time. every day. until we were at the pond.
Papa took us all to lunch and then to a local pond about 15 minutes away.
He started by showing them how to cast.
Once they got the hang of casting...which didn't take them very long. It was time to bait up and fish.
Cam was the first to catch a fish. He had the hotspot. Everyone rushed over to catch one and sure enough....Nathan and then Sydney (twice)
The fish were little bitty 5 inchers...the hook was almost bigger than the fish, but that didn't take any of the excitement out of it.
They haven't stopped asking to go fishing since. We better hurry before Papa has to take them ice fishing.
