Drowning Worms

After letting Katy's and Jenny's pet turtles go free, we decided we'd let Katy try fishing for the first time. First, Daddy showed Katy how to put a worm on a hook.

Then, Daddy took a minute to explain some of the ins and outs of fishing to our little angler.

Going solo, Katy looked quite experienced already.

These are surely the father/daughter moments we'll remember forever!



When it was her turn, Jenny decided to pass this time.


Mommy offered Katy some of her advice, as well, but to no avail.

Even though Daddy struck out and Katy was skunked on her first fishing trip, Mommy caught about two dozen fish. There was a large puddle full of small fish and, knowing that a few days of no rain would leave these little fishies high and dry, Mommy used a bucket to catch and release some into the pond.

Daddy said that this method was cool but didn't count as fishing. Whatever.
