Ah, I love spring. With each pocket of warm weather, I've tried to pack in as much outside time as possible. Mostly it has been spent weeding and working in the yard... but last week Griff and I dusted off our fishing poles and spent an evening doing something much more fun and relaxing... FISHING!!! We went up to Tibble Fork first. After enjoying the scenery, but not catching a single fish for an hour... we packed up and headed to the good old community pond, which in our case is just down the street at Highland Glen Park. Those little stocked fish were sure hungry! Every time Griff's salmon eggs hit the water, it was just a matter of a few minutes before he got a bite. We threw them all back, but one of our neighbors ended up keeping a few. She said when they cleaned them, their stomachs were all full of power bait. Yuck!!! After eating the same thing every meal at the hatchery their whole lives, they probably think power bait is the best thing ever! How funny. :) This was the perfect place to take kids... small fish, but who cares when there is lots of action for little hands!
Griff's first fish... the smallest and an albino. I forgot to take pictures of the bigger ones... oops!
Jack was mostly a good little boy... just playing with his chain while Mommy helped find those ever elusive needle nose pliers for Daddy to get the hooks out of his fish.
My first little fish!
