Today we traveled over to Thorne Bay where they were having a kids fishing day! It was a super fun activity put on my many programs on the island including the public library, Forest Service, and others. They had different booths to earn small prizes, do crafts, and learn about fish. They even gave each child a free fishing pole and tackle bag!
Eli got to do a "fish print shirt". He painted a rubber mold of a fish
and stamped it on a shirt. He can't wait to wear it!
He also was able to meet Sammy the Salmon and Smokey the Bear. He was NOT so sure about them at first, but couldn't stop talking about them on the way home!
Eli meet cotton candy. He wanted to hold the stick but refused to try it. He thought it was absolutely hilarious to hold the cotton candy like a beard but wouldn't taste it. So funny the things he loves to eat (pickles, tomatoes, olives, spinach... but not candy or cupcakes) :)
Then we headed to the creek to do a bit of fishing!
About two minutes into fishing, this was the view. Shane and Bryan fishing on their rare day off. With kiddie poles :) Eli was exploring and finding frogs!
Caught one! He kept releasing and catching the same frog and was just as excited as the first time!
Okay please no harsh judgements on my 36 week belly!
i love the pictures of you guys having a great day outside doing all kinds of fun things. did shane and bryan catch any fish with their little poles or did they need eli to show them how. cotton candy and cupcakes are much better and prettier to look at it then to eat... stick with pickles and spinach and olives and tomatoes. your tummy looks awesome and you don't even look pregnant except on your tummy. what a fun summer day this was for you all....
ReplyDeleteif eli is good with catching toads i will hire him to find some to put in my pond.. no frogs for me!! it would be such a happy home for them here in my pond.
