Family Fishing Fun!

Say that 10x fast! :-)

My gift to Ben as a new father was a pink Cinderella fishing pole. Ok, it was "really" for Megan...but, it was definitely for daddy, too! We have patiently waited until Megan grew a bit older.

This summer was finally the time...we took Megan fishing last Saturday night after Ben got out of work.

Megan was so excited! She kept flinging her pole around in the backseat and jabbering away about fish and worms and water.

I had tried to prepare her earlier in the day, saying over and over that fishies wiggle and squirm when they come up out of the water. I fully expected an America's Funniest Home Videos moment of screeching and pole-dropping once that real live fish appeared! :-)

Not so. Megan didn't get very CLOSE to the caught fish...but, she had no real fear and no screeching or running away.

She loved it! She caught several sunnies and blue gills, so overall, our first family fishing outing was a success (aside from Nathan picking up some goose stinkies...)! :-)

And, a summer family outing isn't complete without some ice cream! :-)

Have a great weekend!
