During Josh's dad's visit from China, he showered us with gifts. Two Father and Son fishing poles were among the Chinese treasures. He was very excited to take us fishing and show us the poles. I was excited because it would be Joseph's first time fishing! 
These are telescoping poles so you could tuck them in a pack and not have to worry about them hanging out. There is no reel, just a line, bobber and hook. 
Joseph was game! He sat very patiently with his line in the water, but didn't even have to wait that long. He caught his first fish! 
Maybe a little perch? I don't know, but he wasn't too happy about being stuck in that bucket. Joseph checked him out for awhile then we threw him back. Joseph really wanted to help so as he barely started to tip the bucket over the water, that crazy fish made a flying leap out of there into the pond! It made us all laugh and Joseph really got a kick out of it! 
Then it was time for a banana break, of course. And let me tell you, it was HOT. Hot hot hot. No two ways about it. It was so hot, if we hadn't left when we did bad things probably would have happened. Like 'spontaneous combustion' bad. 
So we ran over to the playground to hit the slide a few times and headed back home to the wonderful air conditioning. It sure was a fun morning though!

How hot was it??? It was sooo hot that little fish had to jump back into the lake before he boiled. I love the yellow reflection on Joeys face from the slide and I love the shot from the back. In fact I love all of them. What a fun time.
great memories! glad ya'll got out & with stood the heat, even if just for a bit.
awww what a perfect first fishing trip! except for the heat of course...can't wait for fall!
What a fun fishing trip - with a super cool fishing pole to try out too! That one of J from the back is my fave...I can just see him sitting so patiently, and then how excited he must have been to catch his first fish!
Oh how FUN!! I luuuuuv that picture of Joey sitting there from the back. That is a definite B&W keepsake photo. That looks like a perfectly fun Saturday morning (except for the heat of course). Will it ever end????
What a cute pic of Joseph in your lap!
