Fishing Derby

Today was the annual kids fishing derby at Lake Tye and the boys were very excited to catch some fish!  This is Jacob's 3rd or 4th year participating and he knows the routine.  He knows that we always grab McDonald's breakfast on our way down to the lake and won't let us forget that important detail!  This was Cameron's second year fishing, but the first time he was really into it.

After waiting in the line for a while, it was our turn to catch some fish.  It is so crowded that we don't let the kiddos cast or else every one's lines get crossed and tangled, so Jason and I took care of that.  We didn't do much better though!  Each of us managed to successfully cast the lines too far out to where they got caught in the nets and we had to cut the line and put new hooks/weights on it.  Super exciting!

It didn't take long for the boys to each get their two fish.  Cameron was hilarious!  He wanted to get in the water, pet the fish and was very upset when he thought we weren't going to let him hold it!  Here are a couple of pics of the boys and their fish!
