trout fishing

During the reunion, we wanted to take all the kids fishing.  However, we were a little worried about the patience level of five kids under the age of 6.  With this in mind, Papa found the Grandfather Trout Farm.  The trout farm had a few ponds that were so stocked with fish that it would have been hard not to catch a fish.  Each kid took a turn (with help from the dads) and got to reel in a big one.

Sissy was as expressive as usual.

Hunter and Jonah "helped" uncle Adam get the hook out of the fish's mouth.

Hunter liked catching the fish but wasn't as excited to hold it.

Noah was a little tentative at first, but with uncle Casey's help he was able to get a big one.

 Jonah waited patiently (sort of) while the other kids caught their fish.

Here we are with Jonah's fish.  Vanessa was able to capture the moment with her phone.  (Casey was also taking pictures, but those seem to be missing in action.)

After all the fishing was done, we had some time to play around.

All in all, it was a fun time and great for the kids.  They got to experience the joy of catching a fish without all the waiting around.
