Free kids fishing day at Jones Bridge Park turned out to be quite an eventful day! Ella technically caught her first fish last summer at Ed and Ginny's place so let's just say this was her first fishing adventure this year!
Airlie watches her sister from the river bank
Uncle David and Aunt Brooke got her a Barbie fishing pole for Christmas and she has been asking to go fishing for a long time. In fact...we went to this event this year but we missed out on the poles that were available to borrow so Ella spent her time watching other kids catch fish. Not this time!
She was serious as she entered the water and she and Matt made their way to the rock. It was crowded but she was determined. A kind older gentleman (whom we later found out was one of the volunteers) told Matt his hook was too large and his bate was all wrong. Shortly after making a few adjustments Ella got her first of two catches!! She netted two beautiful Rainbow Trout, and naturally she loved the name!
The nice man cleaned them for us right there on the river bank. We ate them that night for dinner, yum!
Oh...and while we were gathering our belongings and headed for the water...Ella blew her first bubble with bubble gum. She is literally growing up before our eyes!
