Today was the annual kids fishing derby at church. The last time we attended was 2 year ago, we didn’t go last year because we were on vacation in Utah.
Isabel was excited again to get out and fish with Daddy. This year we went with our friends Steve, his nephew Anthony, and our friend Copper.
We had a great time in the rain and the kids all seemed to have a fantastic time too! I didn’t get as many pictures this year because of the rain, I didn’t want to get the camera wet. Enjoy!
We arrived! Getting our gear out and heading to the fishing hole.
Maybe the sun will stay out and it’ll be great! The sun wasn’t out long and before long it was raining again.
Cooper casting his line. He did such a great job! He was the first to cast but not the first to get a fish.
Isabel caught the first fish!
Very nice!
Cooper getting some help with his reel. He’s got something on the line!
Wow! Cooper caught a really big one!
5 1/2 lbs. for this one. Didn’t get a total for all 5 fish he caught.
Cooper with his big fish!
Isabel’s is the smaller one.
They took turns catching fish. Isabel got one and then Copper would get one. Then Isabel and then Cooper. Gino was hopping back and forth between the two of them just trying to keep up.
Anthony was doing an amazing job on casting his line but he wasn’t catching anything but sticks and other people’s line. Gino eventually did get to help him, just after Cooper and Isabel had caught their limit of 5.
A calm moment before both of them catch another fish!
After the derby was over, Gino helped Anthony out and he was able to catch 3 fish! Way to go!
We ended up taking all the fish home with us for a total of 13 fish in all. Looks like trout is on the menu for tonight! Yum!
This year there was a raffle for the kids in the fishing derby. Isabel won this big green tackle box!
She’s got plans for it but it’s not for fishing…
Until next time… Thanks Rayburn family for another great year of fishing!
