Fishing Derby





Last weekend, we participated in our town's annual fishing derby! We caught one fish - a tiny perch. We had lots of fun and found our neighbors fishing nearby!

The next day, we went to another local park to fish again. This time, the fish were biting like crazy! We just put our line in and would catch one! We caught three fish that day, but we didn't fish very long at all.

I have to admit that it felt a little cruel. One poor catfish that we caught got hooked a little bit in the eye. They were just swimming around and looking for food until we hooked them and left them wounded! But I used to love fishing as a kid, and Ellie really did enjoy it. We'll probably do it again, but I'll be less excited next time.
