Fishing

We ran out of time at the Big Horn show yesterday but promised the kids we would go fishing. So, the first thing we did this morning was head back to do some fishing...

Marcus LOVED it. He caught a fish the minute he put his pole in. This is a big pool full of real live trout. The fish came out fighting and flopped around and all. The girls were still getting bait put on their poles, so they did not witness the first "kill".

Emma was so excited...all she could talk about all morning was going fishing.

It took a little while but Emma was the next to catch a fish...let's just say if I would have had my camera in video mode...we could have made a lot of money on "Funniest Home Videos".

Emma saw the fish come out of the water and she screamed and jumped off the box she was standing on and was in my arms crying as loud as I've ever heard her cry. Everyone was watching her...we couldn't stop laughing at her expense (believe me, if you were there you would have laughed too). She was devastated. Olivia jumped off after her, but even she was chuckling a little at her sister. This is a picture of her giving her dad a "high five" after we got her to settle down a bit.

We got to keep the fish. They had this great little area where they took a photo of us with our catches of the day. I tried to hold one but the girls did not want to be anywhere near those fish. Don't you love the look on Emma's face...it took a while for her eyes to go back into her head...she is still trying to get over that dreadful experience. I'm not sure if we'll ever get her to eat fish again.
