Fishing with Grandpa

Saturday morning, bright and early, we headed to the Sandy Urban Fishery to go fishing with my dad, Grandpa Dame. We were there maybe two minutes when Hayley and Grandpa caught a fish!



And a big one! It was a catfish, and Hayley was kind of wigged out by it's whiskers and it's wiggling.



A few minutes later, I caught a little perch. We had a very lucky morning. I think our final count was ten or more catches. The fish were lucky too, since we were strictly catching and releasing. No one was in the mood to gut the fish. :)



There was also a mom with a bunch of baby ducklings, and this mom with her "teenager ducklings" as Hayley called them. Hayley was feeding them trail mix, and they came right up to the shore for it, about two feet from where she was at. The mom with the babies wouldn't come that close.



This was Jackson's reaction every time someone pulled out a fish on their line. The plus to that was that he stayed in the stroller, so I didn't have to chase him around.



He liked the adjoining playground at the fishery much better than the actual fishing.



This was such a fun place to spend a morning. I would highly recommend it for any family with little fishermen and fisherwomen. (Fishergirls and fisherboys??)
