Fishing

We bought Lexie and Jake fishing rods a long time ago (like when Ashton was a baby) because she got the idea that she wanted to go fishing with Jake. But for whatever reason they never went and the fishing poles got lost and forgotten in the basement. That was until we were making the shelves and Ashton found them buried in a corner of the basement. He wanted to know where his fishing rod was and when Dad was going to take them fishing. We are lucky that we have two ponds within 5 minutes of our house now, so we bought him a rod, got Jake a fishing license and Thursday night we took them fishing. I only went to take pictures and supervise since we took Abbie with us too. The kids spent a while in our backyard practising casting which was good because they had so much more fun at the pond because they had some idea of what they were doing. I left early with Abbie because she hated being stuck in her seat and there were too many bugs for us, but the first thing the kids said when they got home is "can we go again tomorrow?" even though they didn't catch anything. I think Jake is going to spend a lot of time fishing now.
