2009 Fishing Derby

We took all the kids to the Kiwanis fishing derby at the pond. All the kids had a great time... nothing like hanging out around a stinky pond with kids all over the place "trying" to fish! HAHA!
Both boys caught 2 fish each! Big Al won 2nd place in his age bracket for largest fish! It was almost 14 inches long... he got a new tackle box, with some gear and a free pizza! Not bad!
Little J didn't win anything - but he did have a good time!

Big Al with his prize... he was really thrilled to win something!

Little J showing off his first trout that he caught... not a prize winner - but he had fun!

Miss O gave up on fishing and went to play games!

Little J concentrates hard on the fish! He has learned to become more patient when fishing! Too bad he did not use that patience during other times!

Big Al had fun... it was unfortunate that he did not listen to Mama! There was a board in the water - sort of half sitting on rocks... I told him to NOT stand on it... more than once! Before the day was over - he stood on it again and quickly fell in... the stink of pond did not seem to bother him!
Miss O enjoyed about an hour of fishing and then gave up! While she likes fishing - just not very much of it!
