Mary's First day of school and some weekend fishing

Stephen got promoted this last week, so we decided we would celebrate by taking the kids fishing. First we went to the river, but that only lasted an hour or two. We were having no luck and I was sick of worrying one of the kids was going to fall in. So after a quick stop for some lunch we went to the little fish pond here in Casper. It is really the nicest little place to let the kids run around without to0 much to worry about. We all had fun and everyone caught a fish....except Gabe. That did not go over real well, but we explained to him that is just the way it goes with fishing! We learned that Mary is deathly afraid of fish, wouldn't get near them after she touched the one that Sophie caught. Sara is a little to young but loved guarding the worms ( even tried out sucking on one!) and that Sophie is quite the little caster. She had it down in no time and caught two within about half an hour!



Mary had her first day of pre school today. She was super excited and had a great time! She is my most outgoing one, so there was zero shyness and not one ounce of nervousness. She was very excited to meet all of her new friends. Sara had a melt down as soon as we left Mary, sobbing that "we forgetted Mary." Thankfully Aunt Heidi was waiting outside with Hadleigh, so she calmed down a little when she figured she could "pay with Hadee Paige."
