A Sign of a True Fisherman!

We decided to take the boys fishing to try out their new fishing poles they got from Grandma and Grandpa Mullen. We headed up to Vernon Reservoir for a quick camp out and hopefully catch a fish or two. We had a great night camping, and the next morning Todd got Jaygen and Pace's poles all ready to head for the water. The wind was blowing like crazy and was pretty cold. Then it started to rain a little, but we were all still excited to go fishing.

After having our poles in the water most of the morning, it looked like Jaygen FINALLY got a bite on his. Todd told him to reel his line in and see if he had anything. Jaygen said, "Dad, will you just reel it in? I am eating my snack." I guess after you have to wait for so long the excitement disappears!

Pace had the best time just reeling his line in (over and over and over again)! He kept wanting his line cast out just so he could reel it in again. It was really no surprise that he never got a bite! :)

Despite the bad weather, we all had a great time and both boys said they can't wait for the next fishing trip. Hopefully we will have better luck!
