Going Fishing with the Greenes- June 2012

Back in June, our sister Ashley and her two little boys came and stayed with us for a week, and while they were here, we made a day trip to a nearby pond to go fishing!
 
 
We started it all out with a little picnic... the babies' favorite part, for sure!
 
Canon didn't even see it coming...

Baby Bridger- what a cutie!

Then the kids had fun playing on the playground: 


 
This particular pond is super kid and family friendly. It has an awesome playground, fenced-in piers with benches and it even has a sand beach! The cousins had a toon of fun playing at the edge of the pond with their sand and water toys:


 
...Or just chewing on sippy cups (Don't you love that hat??):
 
 A little later, Kyle took the older kids for a little fishing and let them help cast and reel:

And then they learned to sit and wait.
 
Patiently waiting...

And all that patient waiting finally paid off when they actually caught a fish!

Bringing that fishy in!


Kyle with his catch of the day!

Aurelle posing with the fish:

Minnette did not want to get anywhere near the fish to take a picture... here she is, instead, watching it from a safe distance:
 
We are definitely a catch-and-release kind of family... especially when it comes to catfish- ew! So, here Kyle is pulling out the hook in order to set the little fishy free:
 
We had such a fun day at the pond playing with Ashley and her kiddos!

That looks so fun! Where is this pond at? The fist almost looks like a catfish! I am really excited for Christmas but I am really missing summer!
