Kids Fishing Day

A few weeks ago they had kids fishing day at the golf course.  We took the girls down to try and catch a fish.  May I mention that this is the 3rd fishing attempt with Allie.  I thought I would go to take pictures.  I should have just stayed home.  The girls would have been fine with daddy, and I wouldn't have had to be stressed about them falling in the pond.  Brailie thought that you were supposed to throw everything in the pond and nearly threw her pole in 3 too many times.  And in the end we didn't even catch a single thing.  I remember the first time my dad took me fishing.  It was in our old wooden boat with our super old life jackets.  I believe my friend Brandy came along.  He must have prayed something terrible that it would be a success because we caught fish after fish and I fell in love with the sport and went many times over the remaining years of my time at home.  I loved fishing.  I am thankful that Allie has not given up even though she doesn't know what it feels like to catch a fish.  I can't wait until the day she does.
She has good form.

 Lucky for us the unsuccessfulness of fishing was erased with a free doughnut.

Who even remembers that we didn't have a nibble?

These are great fishing photos. They are so serious, this is really important business. I too wish they had been able to catch a fish. Does anyone catch anything?
