LA Fishing

We spent the afternoon fishing at a family friends' pond.  The children loved it, because the fish were biting like crazy.  It seemed like every time they casted, a fish was on the line immediately.  This wasn't fishing.  It was catching.  All three kids loved it!

Outside

We wanted to enjoy the gorgeous weather, so we headed to the park.  We did a little fishing, but we didn't have much luck.  It could have been the loud birthday party that was on the pond deck.  We think the fish were hiding.  We also played on the playground and soaked up a little sun.

The boys wanted to ride their 4-wheeler around the yard, and they talked us into taking Ridley on a ride.  Ryland did a great job of driving, and Reed held on to her for dear life. 

Fishing

We headed to Bob Jones Park to enjoy some family time and catch a few huge fish.  After a trip to Academy, we had all the fishing gear we needed.  John Chris set the boys up and reviewed some basic skills.  Ryland was very interested in fishing, and he was dedicated to catching the biggest fish.  He pulled in a beauty, but it wasn't quite as big as he had wanted.  He didn't give up.

Reed's experience was completely different.  He fished for a little while but was quickly bored after not catching anything.  He enjoyed looking at the ducks and playing on the nearby playground.

Ridley watched all the fishing action, but she liked the ducks and playground better too.
