feeding the fish. there were thousands of fish in the ponds they had. they put their hands in and the fish would bite them. they would laugh and laugh. :)
getting ready to go fishing.
lex got one!!! he was so excited about that fish.!! i through fish food in right where the line and hook was so we had a fish caught within 2 mins.
after lex caught his fish i told him he couldn't stand by elaina so she would have a chance to get her own. so she went fishing. after 2 cups of fish food elaina still didn't get anything. so i got a 3rd cup. at the very last of the fish food lex runs over and puts his line in and gets one right away. lol. poor elaina. that was our #2 fish...you can't throw them back at this pond.
the 2 fish "we" caught.
so i got them off the line (yuck) and we paid to have them cleaned and fillet. i didn't even think about warning the kids about the death of the fish. well we walked up to have them killed and i was telling them we're going to have them killed and cut up so we can have them for dinner. lex was like.. "yeah!!! they're going to die!!!" and elaina was like "kill them?!?!" poor elaina she just stood there and watched them die. she wanted to so i let her. so while lex was saying... "yeah!! hit him again! and again! ohh...blood! we killed him! they're died!!!" elaina just stood there in silence trying to understand why. lol
that night we went home and cooked them. i was telling lex he had to eat the fish because we don't just kill animals for fun. we kill them for food. well.. he didn't eat any of it. elaina did though.
I love the kids comments. You're lucky you paid to fillet it. It took me forever with the crappy knife I had to do ours from Apple Hill.
