Fishing Fair






























On Saturday, we were able to attend a fishing fair in a nearby city. This was such a well planned event! We had fun at all the little stations learning to cast, tie knots, fish with magnetic frogs and poles, painting fish, making first aid kits, etc. Then, at the end, we were able to fish for real fish! Eve caught a little one and was thrilled. However, she didn't want it to die. We told her that it wouldn't be a good pet or even make it home. So, we took it to the cleaning station where they cleaned it, and the cooking station, where they breaded and fried it. We all enjoyed it. Now that is my kind of fishing! We also got some cool things to take home like a fishing pole, tackle box, and other fun things. Sheri really enjoyed looking at all the frogs, water snakes, lizards, and turtles!

After the fair, we rode the ferry across the river and back. We all went home to relax. We watched Tom and Jerry. My favorite part was when Sheri would say "Yay Jerry!" after each episode. We all had a great day!

That sounds like so much fun! Eve looks a little afraid of the fish she caught though : )

Yep, she didn't want to hold it until it was in the bag.
