Gone Fishin'

on friday we went to my sister's house to visit the cousins. my brother decided to stop by because he didn't have to work that day (dang economy!). he decided that it would be a great day to take the girls fishing!! now the cousins had been before but bean had not and she was quite excited about the whole thing. they gathered up poles, tackle box, and dug up some worms. then off to the pond they went.
(bean took her job of carrying the cup of worms very seriously. she walked slowly and surely to make sure she didn't spill them. ha ha!)

it was a beautiful sunny day. they walked around the pond until they found a nice spot with some shade near by. uncle put a worm on the hook, cast the line, then handed the rod over to bean. he explained how to know that there was a fish on the line and showed her how the reel worked.
soon she was on her own... waiting... waiting... and waiting some more.
sadly no one caught a fish that day. uncle had several nibbles but he was unable to make the catch. the girls got hot and bored, so we headed home.

bean must have really enjoyed herself though because when she got home she asked if she could get her own fishing pole for her birthday. looks like uncle is going to be busy this summer!! :)
