Anja and I took the three big kids to the local youth fishing day. Mark was supposed to take them but he had another engagement. They stock the pond with trout raised by high school agriculture classes and some from a nearby hatchery.
We know very little about fishing, but fortunately there were helpful volunteers that taught us how to cast, how to properly get the worm on the hook, adjusted the drag on our lines, set the weights at the right depth, and, when we hooked a fish, showed up with a net. They also cleaned the fish for us.
Nora got to reel in the line to her heart's content.
We caught one fish on Henry's line.
He showed it to everyone we met that day. The kids ate it for dinner and declared it to be delicious.
The shirts they got were also a big hit. It was a successful trip and everyone is looking forward to next year!

Looks like a lot of fun! Julie told us about it a couple years ago and it hasn't worked out yet with road trips and Ian's birthday. Maybe next year :-)
That's great--you do so many fun things with your kids!
