You have to look real close but Averi even caught a little fish. She was obsessively reeling in the fishing line and somehow managed to grab a fish on the hook on the way into shore. It was so funny. There was so many weeds and junk I didn't even know there was a fish on the line.
We went fishing on Saturday evening. It was so nice. We went with our friends, the Faulkinburys, to a private pond. It was the perfect place to fish, especially for the kids. The fish are constantly biting so they can catch all sorts of fish. Not so fun for the men, probably, because they spend the whole time retrieving hooks and getting the fish back into the pond. Courtney had a heck of a time getting the hook out of one of the fish I caught. (yep, he even has to bait my hook and get the fish taken care of and back out there.)
Jaxon caught quite a few fish. This is one of many. Although, he is super funny about the Blue Gill. For some reason, he is just not a fan. I think it is because last time they went fishing he kept catching the smallest fish, oh, and it got him with its spikes. The other day we were at Bass Pro shop and we happened to be looking at a chart of fish. When he got to the Blue Gill, he raised his fist and said, "Curse you, Blue Gill."
Kambree got one of the biggest catches of the day. It was pretty exciting. She was even able to get the worms on her hook by herself. And then Courtney convinced her to hold and throw the fish back. She did way better than her mama.
The kids were way excited to go out on the kayak. Kam and Jax went out with Christy earlier in the day. Right before we left Courtney took the younger kids out for a little ride. We had such a good time and are glad the Faulkinbury's invited us, helped us with all the kids and the fish, and let us go out in the kayak. It all made for a great family outing!
