Fishers Of Fish
My brother-in-law and his family recently stayed with us for a week while they were here from Seattle for the wedding of our nephew. We thought it would be fun to take our two little nieces out to catch their first fish. Because the girls are only about 30 inches tall, most of the pictures have the dock in front of our faces (except for the guy behind us, who we didn't know. That's a pretty good picture of him.) but trust me, they had a good first fishing experience. I love it when kids catch a sunny about the size of a potato chip and they act like it's a trophy! Even though the fish were tiny the action was hot, and that's what we went there for. I doubt that muskie fishing would have held their interest for very long.
There oughta be a law that says you have to take kids fishing at least a couple times a year. It really puts the rest of life in perspective.

Are you writing this just to bother me?
Alright, so I took the two oldest fishing on vacation.... but thankfully we caught NOTHING! My idea of a GREAT trip. Even better - it started to pour rain so we came home. Now THAT was awesome!!!
lol, we can tell who loves their kids more! :)
derifter, what's up with you and killing animals lately?
Kerux,
You are an anomaly. I thought fishing was as Canadian as Royal Mounties, um, flags with maple leafs on them, and saying "eh?"
JLF,
I assure you that, as is our custom, all the fish were released mostly unharmed, save for a sore lip here or a missing gill there. We didn't intentionally kill any. They're not meerkats, after all.
