Lydia's First Fishing Trip

For Mother's day, all I wanted was for the three of us to hang out and spend some quality time together. No cell phones, no laptops, no TV. So we headed up to Chestnut Ridge Park to try out Lydia's Barbie fishing pole.

I thought this one was so sweet



Letting her reel it in on her own



Trying to hook a fish






Got one
Here is one of the THREE fish that Lydia's pole caught. After catching this one, she was terrified. She hated that is splashed around in the water. Even after we showed her that we put them back and they swim away..she screamed for me and asked to go home!




So Lydia and I played on the playground until it was time to cook dinner. We moved to a different lake and Lydia acting like she was interested again..and that is when all the pictures above were taken. But as soon as she caught another fish she was DONE. Oh well, she hated fishing but it did make for some great pictures.
Two peas in a pod.

I'd probably be a little terrified, too, but then I'm a chicken. Glad you had fun, though!

Jonathan LOVES fishing--we should get them together some time when we are in WV!

Love the pictures! They turned super good!
