Today we went fishing, total we caught (and released) 5 bluegill fish. Lilly caught 3 of those and I think she is my lucky fishing buddy. The top picture is Lilly's first catch of the day! She was so proud. Mike and Lilly had been practicing fishing in the backyard all day yesterday. They would cast the fishing line into targets; Lilly's swimming pool and into the sandbox.
Here is Lilly with her 2nd catch of the day!
Here is the third fish, this one was really fiesty. I figured out that bluegills have spikey fins and Lilly thought it was really funny to see me jump. 
Mike and I each caught one fish on our own, I think Lilly is the master angler in the family. The group closest to us at the pond caught at least an 18 inch fish! We saw the big ones, and I think they saw us too so we didn't get to catch them, this time...
I really enjoyed our fishing trip and am looking forward to more this summer. Seeing Mike baiting the hooks and getting Lilly's pole ready reminds me of going fishing with my dad. Those are really great memories for me, thanks Dad. It warms my heart to see Mike in the father role, especially doing things that I remember so fondly doing with my dad.
