Gone Fishing!

Zack is doing a report on Marcos De Niza (of all people... Tres went to his name sake high school) so we headed off to the library. He went inside while I took the kids fishing.
Grant was just happy to see all the wildlife up close... like the 2 dead bloated fish in the reeds, that made his day.

An older man walking with 2 young boys stopped a moment to let Abby cast. He said "Whoa!" When he saw how good at it this little girl is. He turned to his boys and said "See how far she got it to go out." That's our Abby for ya, she catches on quick.
Zack came out and had to try his hand at the fishing too.. but no luck. I seams we only catch fish when we have live bait. Power bait never does it for us. If anyone has some suggestions I'd be happy to hear them. For the most part fishing is a lost art in AZ, maybe because it's April and the temp is in the triple digits already!!!
Maybe that's what fried Marcos' brain into thinking he saw a city of gold.
Go figure!

Well, at least Abby wins at fishing.....How fun! I have never really fished, but people do it at the public park here all the time.
