FIshing with the Kiddos

During the Higginbotham kids spring break, I took off work one day to take them to the river. ***Please note that the Pierce children were invited, but their mom said they had to clean the garage....boooorrrring!!!*** Anywho, we took off to Walmart to get our supplies for the day including Barbie Fishing poles. I really thought the kids would maybe fish for about 30 minutes and loose interest, so I had lots of other activities planned. Well, little did I know that they all loved fishing. I literally had to pull them away from the pier after 5:00 to take them home. We only had one small hook incident during the whole day, so I count that as a winner. We feasted on hotdogs and smores as well for lunch and then we were back at it! Everyone caught at least one fish and Kate caught 6....she is just like her aunt. :) Funny story...at the beginning of the day, Noah caught the first fish. I told him that he needed to kiss the fish before he threw it back in the water or he wouldn't catch anymore fish. He wasn't too wild about the idea and declined. As the day went on and his sister started catching multiple fish and kissing them before throwing them back, he decided their must be something to this....so, he was kissing her fish....Steven and Vick joined us later in the afternoon as as well and we all had a fabulous day!
