AG got a fishing rod for her birthday from Gran and PopPop, and when we went up for a visit with them on Mother's Day weekend we all went out to give it a try! Considering both that 1)none of the 4 children or 4 adults fell into the water from the railless, sprawling pier and 2)more casts than not, there was a bite as soon as the bait hit the water, it was a successful outing, to say the least. It may have been so successful that the girls will wonder what is wrong if they ever have a "normal" fishing trip where they just catch a few. It was so much fun for all of us and will never be forgotten by three little girls, I'm sure! Thanks, Gran and PopPop, for all the hook-baiting, fish-removing, cleaning, and cooking you did...we had a great time!
AG made the first catch, with her rod and a little help from T, but all 3 girls caught lots of fish. AG would pull them out then quickly move away so they wouldn't touch her as they swung up on the line. SJ would immediately say, "Can I touch it?" as soon as one was caught. LL liked fishing but seemed even more interested in the earthworms, ending up the outing with a handful she had dug out of the bucket PopPop brought along. RL was content to hang out with me most of the time but will surely be in on the action in the future!

These are awesome, such a lovely family. I also like the one of you, with the fish: you look so at ease, like you were just walking by and touched the pond with your rod and magically caught a fish! ;P
