Deadliest Catch????

Okay well we did not exactly go crabbing in the bearing sea, but our fishing season began this weekend at my brother’s fishing pond by his house. 

Unfortunately we did not catch very much.  I think the total count was 3 fish in 3 hours.  It was a very bad showing.  It was very hot and the fish just were not biting.  Jaxson was not as excited to be fishing as we were.  All he wanted to do was run up and down the hill.  This meant that I could not fish because I needed to chase him around and make sure that he did not fall down the hill and into the pond.  Mission accomplished.  So we left the fishing to Kyle, Bethany, Jeremy and Mason.  Maybe I should have stepped in and showed them what to do–lol. 

Even though Bethany really wanted to catch a catfish (she had her fishing net just in case she caught a super big one that would require the assistance of a net), we decided to call it quits after sweating like crazy for 3 hours.  The kids were hot and thirsty (I like to blame stuff on the kids–but really I was hot and thirsty).  So while the first outing did not go as planned, we are not discouraged.  Next time is going to be better.  Pretty much anything would be better than what we caught this weekend.
