While we were helping them get ready, Terry found a turtle on our back stairs. We never actually saw him, as he was afraid to come out once the kids were all around. We did place him back in the woods, I was pretty amazed he would have made it all the way up the lawn.
Here they are before leaving. Please note the Disney Princess pole, it was either that or Dora at Wal-Mart, and as anyone knows, Dora is for babies, not 6 and a half year olds. Larry, maybe you can consider offering this purple/pink combo to your customers?
They fished the pond at Roswell Park, and in the first 10 minutes Sophie caught (and released) this beauty. I asked her what it felt like to catch her first fish, and she said it was slimy and scaly. Terry reported that her casting was great, and she never got a tangle. They had practiced yesterday afternoon, so it must have payed off.
There were many turtles in the pond, and they were trying not to catch those, but they kept biting. One did hook on Terry's line and he wasn't able to get the hook out of it's mouth. He ended up cutting off what he could. At dinner Sophie said she can't wait to go again, but not to that pond, because,"there was only one fish in there Mom, and I already caught it."

Fun fishing trip! We also have the barbie fishing pole. And another one that lights up. Because the fish like lights, you know.
Steph, She was hoping for a Barbie, but there were none left. Like the idea of lights, will have to clue my dad in to that!
Wow, Sophie, that's a big fish for a first catch. Now when you're 15 and meet a boy who fishes, you can always say 'Oh sure, I've been fishing since I was 6 yrs old'.
