Fishing in the Pond

Before heading back to Grandma and Grandpa's house, we stopped at a little pond we spotted on our way to our camp site. The pond was obviously stocked with fish because within an hour they had caught at least 15 fish. Everyone was very happy to finally have some fish, and the kids thought it was really great.
Claire has been asking us since Christmas (when she saw a princess fishing pole at Sportsman's Warehouse), if she could go fishing. She was so happy to finally catch a fish, and she was very curious about everything going on around her. She reeled in a few fish, and then decided that she would rather make lunch out of a bunch of rocks. I guess you can never get rid of the girl in her.
Grandma and Owen watching all the excitement!
Owen thought fishing was fun at first, but after awhile, he decided that fish were scary and he would rather just watch. We had a bucket with all the fish they caught in it, and Owen went around to everyone telling them to be quiet because the fish were sleeping. I guess it's a good thing that he didn't know that he really ate them for dinner.
Chad was very proud of his fish. He was happy to finally catch a few since the lake didn't have very many.
