Fishing Fun

For family night on June 29th, we went to Vivian Park for a picnic dinner and fishing. It was the first time that we let Jacob have his own pole. He did pretty well. He sat in his little camp chair and watched his line. Just as I was taking his picture he got a bite. Mark helped to hold the rod while he reeled in the fish. Sammi and Joe were so excited for him they were cheering him on and jumping around. Just as Jake was reeling his in, Sammi got one. It was fun! Jacob was a bit afraid of the fish at first until Dad helped him touch the fish. Then he really liked to see and touch the fish. Joe didn't catch one that day, but he is a great sport because he knows that somedays you catch the fish and other days you don't. On the way home we stopped to show Shelly and Grandma the fish and she cooked them up right then and we ate them. Jake tried a bite or two, but he didn't really like it too much. Shelly and I enjoyed the fresh trout though.
