Today was the Rotary Club's Fishing Derby. Madison brought the flier home from school and was very excited about going fishing. It was $5 per kid, and they got a lunch and a participation prize. Travis went and bought stuff for bobber and worm fishing (aka white trash fishing!) Anyway he picked Zachary up a CARS pole so he could participate as well.
We got there early to register and find our spot. They assigned each kid to a number along the bank of the Indian Creek.
Checking out our spot!
Madison is ready to fish!
Zach and his new pole!
Brynley slept on and off. She loves to be outside!
They were ready to fish! The derby was from 12p-3p. There was no way the kids were going to last that long! They made it an hour and a half! Which was a lot longer than we expected!! Now as you can see, there was not a lot of room. From bank to bank it was maybe 20 feet!! So there were a lot of tangled lines with fellow fishermen. People were catching fish above us, below us and right across the way. But we didn't catch any at all, not even a nibble.
The first casts of the day!
Zachary told me tonight, that part of fishing is not catching any sometimes. And that he had a lot of fun and can't wait to go again!
I just love this one of Zach. He was so cute with his little pole. He stood on this rock the whole time!
Madison's one catch of the day! A piece of plastic!
Travis helping Madison with her bait!
After Madison would cast she would sit on her little rock chair!
And one last kid shot before we left!
We had a pretty fun day. Time well spent with Family!!

Looks like great fun! Zach is right... my fishing career is all waiting and NO chatching. But I have some great memories! He looks so much like his Dad! I remember those little kid poles were always the luckiest at scout camps. Jacob would come home and tell stories about how many fish the "Barbie" pole caught!
So fun! Our kids love to go fishing or casting is a better word for it. They don't care if they catch anything, they just like casting.
