Fishing at the Duckworth's

If you haven't been out to the Duckworth pond lately, you are really missing out. They have done a wonderful job of setting things up for family fun. We were fortunate enough to get a chance to take the girls out there this past Friday evening for some fishing, four-wheeling, hot dogs, and s'mores. The girls had a blast! Enjoy photos below.

All four girls got a chance to "drive" the four-wheeler. All we really did was make a little circle around the lake house, but they each thought it was the best thing in the world. Of course, I must admit that on my way back to Uncle Rowland's, the bike died. I couldn't get it go anymore. Uncle Rowland said that it's probably not a big deal; I hope he's right and that I didn't kill the four-wheeler in a single evening.




We all also got a turn fishing from the boat. We even had Logan out there with us for a while. We didn't get a pic of Emma Joi or Sydney in the boat, but they did have a high time floating around the pond. Emma Joi even took her "Taz" pole out with us and caught her purple fish (just a weight) about a hundred times. She casts really well, so she would throw it out, and then when it was about halfway back to the boat, she would say, "I think I got something," or, "ooh, there it is!!" And then she would "fight" the fish into the boat all proud to have caught another purple fish. What fun!






Now, I don't know what Abbie's been up to in the next few pics, but take a close look at her face and I think you'll agree that it was not something she wanted recorded in a picture. :)


And I guess she needed to go to the bathroom, too!


Finally, we did catch a few fish. I caught this little bream that the kids just had to have a picture of, and I caught a little bass that Emma Joi got to reel in and land. Reagan also caught a little bass that we didn't get a picture of and I caught a baby bass out in the middle of the pond that also didn't make the highlight reel.

It's nice to know you were in town and had lots of fun. The girls look like they had fun, too. Tell them they did a great job catching fish. I am glad they aren't scared of them! Maybe if we had known you were here doing all of that we could have joined you. My kids love to fish and would have loved spending time with your girls.

Sorry. I didn't know you guys were into fishing. My kids may be back out at Mom's weekend after next (June 17) if you want to come by then.

well, i see you just had to use the word bream in there just to show the correct spelling.

Michael said...

You got me, Mel. Everything is about you. :)

Looks like a lot of fun, I used to love riding four wheelers out there and fishing and sitting by the camp fire at night. What a good memory for your girls!!
