Fishing at Miss Sally's

One of our neighbors has a great little pond next to her house and has been telling us for several summers to come over and fish, so we finally took her up on the offer a few weeks ago, and have been a couple of times now. It's the perfect place for the boys to fish because they can catch little perch almost as fast as we can bait their hooks. At least TJ can now bait his own and takes the fish off for the other boys. Here are a few pictures from our first fishing adventure at Miss Sally's and the dessert party afterward at my friend, Holly's, house (we were late).

J's first fish! (I think)

He didn't really want to touch it.

Success!

Miss A hung out on the blanket out of the way of the fishhooks and got to play with Sally when she walked over to visit.

TW wasn't having much luck...waiting for him to catch one was why we were late to our next social engagement. We think maybe it was his red hook--yes, they're down there, TW.

Woohoo! Finally! E told them they had to be 10 inches to keep them that night--needless to say, we didn't have to clean any fish.

Kid line-up.

I love this picture! Such great smiles! (Plus, I thought I should include a picture of one of my future daughters-in-law (on the right)--Miss M's mom has PROMISED she may marry one of my sons--I don't know how her dad feels about that, though...)
