Fishing with Grandpa

We decided to take advantage of the great spring weather yesterday and take Bennett fishing with his grandpa (who is an avid fisherman). We didn’t expect to catch much because we went in the afternoon, but we were a little disappointed that we didn’t catch anything, although we did see a few fish jump. Despite the lack of fishing success, it was still a great afternoon. Bennett learned how to cast mostly by himself (with a little help), we enjoyed the warm weather and being outside, Bennett seemed to have fun and kept wanting to reel in the line, and I got some cute pictures of Bennett and Nate fishing (warning: picture overload! I love being able to take pictures outside :) We’ll have to try again sometime in the morning when we have better odds.

Mama duck and her little ducklings. They thought the rocks Bennett was throwing in the water were some sort of food :)

Looks like fun! We really need to take our boys fishing. Landon reminded me of that when he saw the pictures. :)

PS - You need a photo of his Grandpa and Bennett fishing together to go with the post title. Little ironic no grandpa in the photos. :) Still amazing photos though.
