Fishing Fun

Today we took the kids to the pond and went fishing. It was a great afternoon, a little warm but not too bad. The kids had a blast. We had to fight brush that has grown up around the pond as well as the ice storm damage. But all in all it was such a great night.

Elizabeth used her new PINK fishing rod. The girl loves her pink. She was able to eventually figure out how to throw her own line in as well as catch a fish all by herself. She was in heaven. However, she has yet to touch a worm or a fish. LOL!

Timmy also caught fish. He would get a HUGE smile on his face. He caught the biggest fish of the day and said that he ONLY catches the monsters, because he's a boy. It was so cute to watch him. He had such fun with it.

Our nephew also went with us. He on the other hand had more fun trying to help the kids fish than he did actually fishing. I don't think he ever caught one. But he had fun taking their fish off the line as well as supplying the worms to them. He also thought it necessary in true Jimmy Houston fashion to KISS all the fish that the kids caught. It was cute and DISGUSTING, YUCK!

It was finally getting dark enough that we needed to head home. Elizabeth decided on the way home that she want's to go to summer school after all. I think a week at work being bored finally got to her. LOL. She had a great lemonade stand going, but has decided to pick it back up after summer school is out.

We got home and the tick check began. WHEW. I have never seen SO many ticks on 1 body ever. Elizabeth was covered in them. Timmy is usually the tick magnet, but somehow he escaped getting too many. I think he just had maybe 3-4 on him. Elizabeth on the other hand, I bet I picked 15 off her torso. Poor baby, she's covered in whelps now from it.

Anyway, that is our fishing fun. Here are some pics of the kids with their catch!
