Wesley wanted to take home the big stick he found at the pond in the afternoon.  I told him we could make it into a fishing pole and take it back to the pond after dinner.

I made his line out of a piece of string and his hook out of a clothes pin.  The bait we packed was just bits of things we found in the kitchen.

So right after dinner, the whole family walked over to the pond.

Ready to GO!

Trying out different fishing strategies.

Wesley is trying out different fishing strategies & Redmond really wanting to play with the ducks.

Trying to share with Jillian - but he could not bring himself to do it.
