The Fishing Rodeo Part 1









Fishing is not something that we do very often. In fact, we are downright inexperienced at it. I think that it is one of those things we might enjoy after we are out of the toddler stage. Mark's company hosts a "Fishing Rodeo" at the company park each April, so we get a small taste of what fishing is all about.

Last year, Isaac fished for about five minutes before he became bored with the whole experience. The company also has inflatable slides, face painting, cotton candy, and other temptations that lure children away from the fishing. This year, he hung in longer and was rewarded with a catch! Olivia borrowed the pole and caught one also. They were both thrilled with their fish. They were blissfully unaware that there were prizes for the biggest fish, and that their sweet little fish were some of the smallest ones. The thrill of the catch was enough of a reward for them!
