Yesterday (05.05.12), we decided to take the kids fishing at a local park. Addie has been dying to go fishing, so Mike and I went and bought New York State fishing licenses, poles for the girls, and headed out. We had a good time. What made it even more exciting is that we caught like 6 fish! It was awesome! At the local park we were at, they have a fish hatchery, and they just recent stocked up all the streams in this park, the streams were full of fish. So it made it a lot of fun for the girls to help catch all these fish. Addison was able to catch her very first fish (with a little help from dad, of course). Zoey could have caught her first fish, but then she refused to help reel it in, oh well, maybe next time. It was a perfect day and a fun activity for us to do as a family. We hope to do many more fishing trips in the near future.

Still reeling...
And theres the fish! Addison was so excited, she kept running around saying "I caught my first fish! I caught my first fish!" My Grandpa Hall would have been proud...
Although she caught her fish, she unfortunately takes after her mamma and refuses to touch or even get near the fish.
The first catch of the day
Daddy catching the second fish of the day with Zoey's little Princess Pole---that thing reeled in about 4 out of the 6 fish we caught!! Go Princess Pole!
After many castings, and a few times of getting the hook stuck out of trees, I finally caught my first and last catch of the day! (I suck at fishing...)
Like Father, Like daughter.....I love this picture.
The girls checking out one of daddy's fish...refusing to touch it of course.
We had a great time and are ready to go again. We caught some rainbow trout and some other stuff (I dont know fishy names) but they were all sorts of colors. They were some pretty looking fish. We hope to make this a frequent family activity.
