fishing

The kids got to try their hand at fishing for the first time on Friday. We went to a little pond that is stocked with fish that is near Alan & Heidi's house. Grandpa V. & Eric brought the poles and worms and provided the lessons -- a big THANK YOU to you both! I think the kids were fascinated by the worms getting put on the hooks -- check out Jacob in this picture below. After some patient waiting, Jared felt the tug and started to reel in his first fish.
Ta-da! There it is! He was so excited! Since we were doing catch & release, Jared & Grandpa extracted the hook and tossed the fish back in the pond.
A minute later, Ryan came up with a fish too! This was actually his second catch of the day, since I missed the first one.
Matthew had no patience for fishing, so he spent some time by the waterfall picking up rocks.
Thanks, Heidi, for getting us all together!
