Tonight was MacKenzie's and Kaylee's first time fishing. So tonight we decided to bike down to the fishing pond and go fishing. MacKenzie caught her first fish, and she did it all by herself. Rick and I are so proud. Not many 3 year olds can say they caught a fish by themselves, and actually be telling the truth. The first cast out, MacKenzie brought in a cray fish, but I didn't have my camera handy, and it didn't stick around long enough for me to get it. Either Rick or I would cast out for her and kaylee, and then they would reel it in by themselves. When MacKenzie first told us she got a fish, we didn't believe her because she said that every time her line was in the water. Once Rick seen her line, he believed her and watched her reel in her fish, and talked her through it. She brought it all the way up to shore, and then Rick took it off the line for her (of course for safety reasons). So she caught it by herself for as much as a 3 year old can actually do. Then Rick caught a couple and let her reel them in.
MacKenzie caught the bigger of the two (thats not what Rick will tell you though..lol) Hers is the one closer to the top of the picture
MacKenzie was watching Rick take the hook out of the fish's mouth
Kaylee tried fishing too. She didn't catch anything though. But she still had fun reeling it in "by herself". She wouldn't let me help her at all once she figured out how it worked.
So all in all, it was a great night of fishing. I didn't catch anything, but thats ok, because tonight was all about the girls. And they had fun. I guess they will have to take both their Grandpa's out and show them how its done. I am definitely looking forward to taking them out again.

I am impressed and embarrassed at the same time. For I have never caught a fish by myself. Not that I would want to fish are icky and I would never ever touch one in the first place!
I read your post on janelle's blog about you being interested in God a bit. That's exciting for me as I have prayed that you would.
