Fishing fun

Today was such a beautiful day, we decided to go fishing at our pier.  This was the first time we've been out there this year.

Grace brought some old bread to feed the fishies.

She dropped each piece one by one.

She spent almost 20 minutes feeding the fishies.

She really enjoyed it even though we never saw any fish eat any of it.

Then she helped with the fishing poles.

She sat down with her Daddy and fished for a while.

The fish didn't seem to be biting in that spot.

So Grace thought they should try the other side.  "Tum on Dah-ee!"  (Come on Daddy!)

So David patiently shows her how to hold the rod.  She's really good with her little zebco, but these rods are much bigger.

And Grace tries to reel it in.

She even jerks the rod just a bit hoping to get that hook in good.

Alas, there's no fish on the line.  They must be hibernating or something.  What fish is going to turn down an easy meal of shrimp?

Then Grace gets the binoculars out to watch the sunset.

Meanwhile, Chloe is just hanging out.

The sunset truly was spectacular.

It seemed to change every few seconds.

And grow more and more intense.

I honestly can't remember one more beautiful.

But as lovely as the sunset was, it doesn't come close to the beautiful memories we made.
