Kate came into the house screaming. I thought someone was hurt the way she was yelling! But she was actually super excited to report that after nearly two years of trying she had finally caught a fish!! So I forced myself to get off the couch and go see what she caught.
She caught her first perch!!! It was so awesome to see her excitement!!
then another for Katelynn. At this point they were getting a little too comfortable holding the fish, so I warned them not to carry them around the yard. I explained it was important to get them into the water fast.
So Kate came running back in a few mins later to tell me shed caught a huge fish and I had to see! I was unprepared for what I saw...
Yep- that's right! She took the perch she caught and filled out critter keeper with water from the faucet! Lol!! I then explained the diff in water in the pond to water from the faucet, explained that we couldn't keep the fish in an aquarium, & set it free!!
Then Kate had her big catch of the day- she caught the biggest one yet!!
She was crazy excited that it was so heavy it was bending her fishing pole!!!
By this point Mama was getting really sick again and said they had to call it a day! Man did they have a great afternoon fishing though!
It's such a blessing to be able to live here in this awesome place where our kids can just spend a summer day playing in the backyard & fishing in the pond.
Something tells me these kids are just getting started on their summer fishing!! :)
