Fishing

Our family went to a nearby pond to go fishing. There are tons of tiny ponds dotting the landscape in Iowa; this one is a block away from our house.

We used wax worms on the hook. Ethan's job was to get the live, yucky worms out of the container and put them on the hook. As you can see, he liked this job.

Ethan fishing - it was really easy to catch fish here. Just put a wax worm on the hook, and within 2 minutes you have a fish on. But they're all tiny, and it's catch and release only at this pond.

Touching eyeballs -- it seemed to be the dare of the afternoon: "You touch the eyeball." "No, you first!" We caught bluegill and large mouth bass. Ethan said at one point, "This one is wearing lipstick!" Christian and I both got a good laugh out of that one.

It's a fatty!

I wish we had fish that easy to catch here at Stansbury Lake! Oh well...they'll learn patience!
