Father's Day Fishing Trip

Every year Hailee's preschool goes on a Father's Day Fishing trip to the trout farm. Since this is her first year of preschool, this is the first year they got to go. They had such a great time. Unfortunately Ty was behind the camera the whole time, so he isn't in any of these pictures.
Hailee was apparently extremely afraid of the fish and it was all Ty could do to even get her to hold this pole for a picture! She got a little more brave throughout the day.
So the first time a fish bit Hailee's hook, she didn't know what to do. Ty was video taping her when it happened so he was trying to turn it off and slip it into his pocket so he could help her (I only wish he had just kept videotaping!). Before he could make it over to her, she just let go of the pole, and down in went. In this picture, you can see the pole "swimming around", still attached to the poor fish. It's in the middle of the picture almost halfway down.
Of course the bus ride is always a favorite!
They ended up catching two fish to bring home. Such a fun little activity.
