Fishing Fun

Harper loves to fish and we are lucky enough to have several stocked lakes in our neighborhood. Now that the weather is getting warm we are starting to get outside more, this past weekend we went fishing with Randy, Stacy, and Riley in our ponds. The fish weren't really biting, but we still had fun.

Harper does really well casting her pink Barbie fishing pole. Of course she doesn't leave the line out long enough to ever catch anything, she has too much fun reeling and casting. She is not afraid of the fish at all. Whenever one is caught she runs over to touch it. I guess despite the pink rod and reel, she's not too girly! We have a hard time keeping bait around with Harper. She fishes out the minnows from the bucket and releases them into the lake. She's not so fond of the crickets, she won't touch them. It's so much fun to see her growing up and enjoying activities like fishing.

Ella LOVES to fish too! And luckily the fish in our pond like to "swim" for their food, so reeling and casting works well here...ya'll need to come over! Harper can catch 'em and Ella can hold 'em-that's all she really wants to do anyway!! I'm sure it'd be a GREAT photo op!
