Gone fishin'

If you can't find us at home there's a good chance we are at the pond, lake, or river trying to catch a fish! (Trying is the key word here!) Our family has taken up a new hobby and interest in fishing. We have our poles, worms, power bait, pretty much everything needed to catch a fish--the only thing we are lacking is either the skill or luck! But like any new hobby it takes time and this one even takes a little patience!

A few weeks ago for Family Home Evening we took the kids to the nearby pond to catch a few fish. Ty was the only one who caught something--in fact he caught TWO fish! Way to go Ty! (We forgot the camera or we would have taken more photos! )

As you can see from Ty's face he did not like the idea of holding the fish in his hands! Too bad--we wanted a picture of the master fisher-boy holding his two fish!

Last week we went to Tooele for a family reunion. We decided we would try fishing again at the local reservoir. It was just Ty and his mom and dad which was a nice little one-on-one time for him. We went a little too late in the morning, we couldn't catch anything.

Ty sure tried catching a fish but not today, they weren't even biting! He complained a little that it was too hot and was disappointed he didn't catch a fish.

But Ty did learn how to cast his line today and he practiced that a lot and is pretty good at it now.
