Shoreline Fishing

Today was the last day of the long weekend :( It was so nice having Greg home during the day to hang out with. Sawyer and I will definitely miss him during the day. 

The TV Station was hosting a Shoreline Fishing Derby today. So Jill, Jon, Greg and I (and Sawyer, of course) decided we would try our hand at shoreline fishing. None of us had ever had much luck catching anything from shore but we thought it would be a fun thing to do. Plus it was a beautiful day so, why not? 

We walked to the TV station at around 1:45 bought our tickets to play (Greg and I only bought one, because we had Sawyer with us too so when one of us wasn't fishing the other was watching her). Then we walked to the point for an afternoon of fishing. Jon, Jill and Greg all caught a fish. They were all small fish though. Jill's was the largest and it only weighed in at 1lbs 11 ozs. All in all it was a nice afternoon, a nice getaway and it gave us something to do.

 Jill, Jon and Greg fishing!

 Greg trying to catch a fish, unfortunately here all he caught was snags.

Sawyer and I hanging out while everyone else is fishing. She was so good and enjoyed being outside, even though it was a little windy by the lake. 

 Daddy and Sawyer trying to catch a fish!

 Still trying!

Greg weighing his fish. It weighed a whole 6 ozs! Needless to say, he didn't win a prize, but Jill won 12th place with her fish (she won a baseball and glove).
