We had so much fun today on our fishing trip. We started out at the normal pond with not much luck because we decided to try it out earlier. We ended up at a lake we've been to scoping out places.
At the pond, our little princess Lilli didn't want to be in the sun so I had to pull out the umbrella for her to sit under. It was pretty funny. We took a picnic lunch and had that there before we left. The spot we had been scoping at the lake was in the shade. It was a gorgeous day and not really that hot. But the sun was not our friend today, so we went to the shade. It was such a nice place to fish.
Less than 15 minutes of being there, Baylee ate at least 10 handfuls of wet sand and Lilli had caught two fish. One of which ended up being her fish for the next 3 hours, yep out of water, I'm sure you imagine the state of the fish. But it was hilarious because well after the fish had croaked she was walking around with a rock about the size of the fish on top of the fish. I asked her what the rock was for, she matter of factly told me so that he wouldn't get away. I have no doubt that fish would not have gotten away even without the aid of the rock but she was making sure.
So Lilli had her fish for entertainment and Baylee ended up slowly progressing to sitting and splashing in the water. She also worked on her climbing and digging skills.
As for the actual fishing, we only caught bluegill but watched many large fish jump farther out into the water. It was an enjoyable day and we were outside, that was the purpose. Lilli told me she had "so much fun fishing today".

I love your girls little red cheeks. You sure know how to go prepared. We went up to a pond that one family had camping chairs all set out and about nine fish in their nets! We were not that patient, and didn't catch any. Keep in mind this pond freezes in the winter and all the fish die due to lack of oxygen, so they stock it up in July...Talk about a death sentence for the fish, but at least the scenery is fun right? I can't believe how much hair Baylee has! That is so fun;)
