The Fam Goes Fishin'

A few months back we decided to go fishing and try out Peyton's new fishing pole that Grandpa Redmon and Grandma Tami gave him for Christmas.

Dad getting it all ready (Addison stay out of that puddle)!
"NO"
"Don't worry mom I will take care of her;-)"
After a few lessons from dad on how to cast, we just let him try to figure the whole casting, and reeling thing out. He was getting frustrated that he kept getting caught on the moss at the bottom. But he was doing pretty good and being patient. Tim finally got his pole out and was having fun when Peyton goes "Mom I think I caught one" "You are just probably stuck on the bottom honey, do you need help?" Then all of a sudden the line took off and sure enough he caught one ALL BY HIMSELF!! Tim and I were shocked, it was so funny.
Reelin' him in!
YES!
Peyton and Dad showing off the big catch!

Back in the water and feelin a little sure of himself:)
"AAAAA dad get the net I got another one"!
We were going to just catch and release.....try to tell a 5 year old you are going to have to let his fish go! We ended up with two beauties!
Fun Day!

Looks like you guys had a lot of fun!! Oh the joys I get to look forward to with a little boy!!!
I can't wait to see all you guys over the summer-it seems that we see each other over the summer and over Christmas! (definately not enough times in one year!!)
Hope you are feeling well and that all is going as smoothly as possible!

Did I ever tell you I LOVED the pics Tina took of Peyton. He is such a little man, and a Redmon at that!
