Fishing with MeeMee and Pappy

We decided to go to the pier today and enjoy the outdoors together.

And try a bit of fishing as well.

It was so beautiful out.

Pappy sat for a while pondering.

Meanwhile MeeMee tossed the castnet a few times trying to catch some bait.

Pappy decided to get some exercise, too.

Then we caught our first fish!

Grace showed us how big it was.

Then she helped her Daddy set that fish free.

Faith convinced MeeMee to get her out of the stroller and let her walk for a while.

And Grace fished some more.  She has progressed to the adult rods - with real hooks!

Then she swung her rod back and exclaimed, "Look guys!  I caught a bait fish!"

Next, Grace insisted on taking a few photographs of everyone.

And MeeMee and Pappy along with Grace, Faith, and David piled onto a bench to enjoy the sunset while waiting for another fish to get caught on a line.

The sunset was beautiful.

But the time spent with family was the highlight of my evening.

Gone fishin'

We went fishing at the pier again today.

Grace hopped in for a ride.

And discovered her Daddy's fishing hat in the pier cart.

Faith liked the hat, too.

Then Grace checked out the crab traps.  And yes, her top is on backwards.  Grace likes it that way.

Then just when we were getting ready to head home

We caught a flounder!

Then we watched the sun set.

And headed home to cook some fish.

More fishin'

We took our parade all the way to the pier.

 And wheeled the pier cart along, too.

 With the fishing poles, of course.

 David and Grace caught some bait.

 A whole school of fish!

 Even Chloe was impressed.

 Faith hoped to catch a fish on her line.

 But Grace was luckier.

However, that didn't mean she would actually touch the fish.

  So David got it off the line for her.

 Faith came closer hoping for some better fishing action.

And finally caught the best fish of all - her big sister!
