Colorado- Day 3

Today we went fishing at a pond. Tyler was the first one to catch a fish! He did such a great job! He was shown what to do and pretty much did it all himself! This fish that he caught was too small so he got to let it go back into the pond. He handled it really well and went right on fishing some more!Jim was the next to catch a fish. Even with Caleb on his back he was able to cast the line out. Jim had several bites, but a few got away. He ended up bringing home 2 of the fish that he caught.
Grandma and Grandpa spent much of the time helping the boys with their fishing. Tyler was able to catch another fish, this time big enough to take home! Both Tyler and Justin were really excited!
We were almost ready to go have our picnic and the others had already put away their fishing poles, when I finally caught my fish! It was the biggest one! Wet, wiggly, slimy, but fun!
Justin was such a great sport about not catching a fish that day. I was so grateful that he caught the only one the day before. He just ran around, excited for everyone else. He didn't hold a pole the entire time, but he was very patient with all of us. He just played by the pond and had a great time.

We all had a great time! Here is our picture with all of our fish in the middle!
