Today I took Daniel and Mia to go fishing for the first time. After seeking advise, I chose a place where I hoped we would catch piles of anything that would classify as fish. And what a success! Daniel caught about 5 bluegills, Mia caught maybe 3, and I caught one. Of course, all my time was helping them bait the hook and reeling in sometimes an empty line, but sometimes with a fish. Daniel was so excited, he even helped take the fish off the hook and toss them in (as long as he could use the rag I brought (he did not actually want to touch the fish or anything yucky like that). If you look closely, that tiny minnow looking thing on the right is the first fish he ever reeled in.

I'm impressed! I hadn't even considered taking my kids fishing myself. I figure that's what grandpas are for.

There's a kids fishing day coming up soon here. And something's free for the first 350. :)
