This picture shows a great father and son. Every year Burroughs park near our home gets stocked with trout. It is a Tx parks and wildlife program where they bring fishing to the neighborhoods. So every year we watch for the dates and we go fishing sometime in that week. The odds are in our favor that we will go home with fish.
Toby is a big fisherman. He went all the time with his grandpa growing up and he continues to share his love of fishing with his kids. Carissa got a fishing pole for her first birthday and the boys have all gotten them early in life as well. Carissa is really good at fishing, baiting her own hooks already. The older boys are starting to do that as well. But dad still unhooks the fish! My main job is crowd control. I keep little ones safe and happy with lots of snacks . We don't want wet kids or kids hooked on poles, etc.
On this trip all our boys caught fish, even I reeled one in. Carissa did not but that is because she was having too much fun with her friends. She is my social butterfly. Whenever we go anywhere....park, church, playdate, camping....she always wants to know who is coming too. This time she and I invited two families we are friends with at church. These families both have 5 kids with ages similar to ours so we had lots of playmates. A few of them caught some fish too.
It was a great day weatherwise, we enjoyed a picnic lunch and we were there 4 hours. We had fish and shrimp for dinner that night and Toby cooked! Gotta love that!!
