Fishing Derby

I took Little J and Miss O to the first Fishing Derby of the year! The kids had a really rough start (Mom included!!) Little J made a mess out of the pole - by getting hooked in weeds and brush on the way in... major mess... then he had problems casting... then of course he went from Mr. Hyde to Dr. Jekyl... yep - the behavior went in the toilet!! Since HE IS the master fisherman in the family.. not catching anything in the first hour and a half really got his goat! Everyone around us was constantly bringing them in! Finally, near the end of the Derby, he started catching little tiny Sunfish! In the end, he caught 2 small trout and three small (really really small) sunfish! The picture above shows Miss O holding the ever-popular Barbie pole and Little J was holding her fish - her one and only that she caught! Look hard - its there - just REALLY tiny!! hehe!


Miss O enjoyed doing more sunbathing than fishing!!
