Sunday afternoon we went fishing at our neighborhood pond. Papa loves to fish and spends a lot of his free time fishing, so I am trying to get my Dad to share his passion with my kids. Molly is terrified of wind, and Sunday was rather windy. She didn't last long and spent most of her time begging to go home. Here she is checking out the pond and the noisy geese! Terrified of the wind and of course the geese.
Here is Daddy's fish. Aaron was the first one to catch a fish and everyone was so excited. Molly of course panicked.
Jack then caught this fish with Papa's help of course. Jack was so "pumped" about his "huge" fish. Papa said it was a 4lb Channel Cat. Jack was so proud.
When Molly decided to loosen up a little, she insisted on taking her dress off. She loves being naked. So, we were the "white trash" family at the neighborhood pond!
Gramma Trish was trying to help Molly with the cane pole. Cane poles are perfect for little kids. Molly's tactic to fishing was swatting and splashing the pole in the water. Papa seemed a little frustrated with our fishing tactics. He thought for sure the fish would all be scared away. Jack kept throwing a huge stick in the water, which also added to Papa's frustration. However, the two fish that we caught that afternoon, were caught within minutes of all of the splashing! Maybe the Strope kids know what there doing.
Jack reeling in the Big One!

Fishing with a grandpa has to be one of the best things for a kiddo! Love the naked fishing too :)
