Fishing

Love his casting technique - haha!

We took the kids out fishing recently, to a beautiful spot where we might just find ourselves a lot this summer.  This was Evan's second time and Chloe's first.  Chloe was the first to catch a tiny sunfish.

Once she felt that success she was fired up to keep going back for more.  Todd took care of baiting the hooks and unhooking the fish for the kids.

Evan caught his first fish ever and his smile just about split his face in half :-)  Ecstatic is the word that comes to mind.

Todd did a  little fishing himself when the kids ran off to the playground for a while.  All the fish were so small and cute!

Back for a few more..... I kept asking the kids if they were ready to go the closer it got to dinnertime, but neither of them wanted to leave. 

 When we finally did pack up, of course, they realized they were starving, but riding home in the Jeep with warm wind blowing takes your mind of food.  Someday we might actually keep what we catch and bring it home to eat, but for now it's catch-and-release then pbj for dinner.
