Jason came home from work bubbling yesterday because he had been at the base pond while the game and fish folks were stocking it with 5 lb trout and saw all the little trout surfacing like crazy. He wanted to take the kids fishing because he was sure they would catch something this time.
And they did - 3 rainbows and 1 brown (they threw it back)! He said that after Gracie reeled in the first one (on her Barbie fishing pole!), he saw the light bulb go on in her head - that fishing actually means catching fish, not just casting and reeling! And she was soooo excited for the next hour and a half that he could hardly contain her! She was watching the bobbers to see if there were bites and when they did bring more in, she would run over to the other people fishing and scream, "we got a fish!".
Emmett was a little nervous about the slimy wigglers, but after they got 'em home, he felt a little better about touching them. As you can see, Gracie had no fear of them, even when she was helping Jason clean them.
