Gone Fishing

This past weekend was the free fishing weekend, so we took full advantage of it yesterday (Sunday). We went fishing at a well stocked pond and caught 6 bullheads and 1 sunny fish. We bought a little Spongebob Squarepants pole for Dwight and the first time we put a worm and hook on it and he was holding it he caught his first fish almost immediately!!!!! He wanted to take it home as a pet fish, but that was not going to happen. I don't think big ugly bullheads make very good pets!!! The kids got very excited every time we or someone else caught a fish and wanted to "pet" them. I only catch fish when Gary hands the pole off to me or has to leave to go to the bathroom. Go figure. Anyway, it was a little nerve-racking for me, but everyone enjoyed being out and had fun. Gary has also gotten better at getting hooks out of fish mouths (he definitely got some practice yesterday!).
