The first week in March we went fishing. It was about time we did so. Jesse and I bought a fishing just a few months after we got married and we never even put it together or bought hooks until just recently. Not too far from where we live are some ponds that are stocked with fish from the fish hatchery near by. It's not my ideal of fishing, (I'm more of a drop-your-line-in-a-mountain-creek type of fisher) but it was still great and lots of fun with the boys. After getting all situated and figuring out how to put everything together just right we got started. It took us awhile to get the casting down and when I say "we", I mean me. But once I got it and actually let the line sit out for longer than a minute and a half, I actually caught something! Cool thing was is Coleman happened to be on my lap so we can say that he caught it. After that, he was done and was much more interested in feeding the ducks. Emerson sat in the back pack for awhile but he wasn't too fond of that. Soon he was crawling around and it was all I could do to keep him from eating rocks. Soon Coleman was crawling around with him. It wasn't long before Jesse caught him a fish as well. It was a beautiful day and felt so good to be outside. We have been doing a lot together as a family since we've been in Nampa and I've really enjoyed it. That night I battered and cooked the fish up but they were NASTY! They tasted just like the dirty pond smelled. I learned my lesson on that one. Only eat fish from clear water.
