• Sunday was a perfect day for being outside. Celebrating the first day of Spring on the farm…we couldn’t think of a better way than fishing in the farm pond. So after some post-church naps, we were off!

         

  Our transportation…we didn’t go far in the back of the truck…just around the corner and up the hill a little bit, to the lake….

         

  Wyatt couldn’t wait to wet a line…

         

  and Addie was right behind….

         

  She caught her first fish!

          

  “I don’t want to touch it!”

          

  Kristen, the star of the day, employed her expert skills to help Wyatt pull this one in.

           

  The other five Kristen caught were bigger than this perch (it’s there…look closely)…

          

  It took a while, but Derek finally pulled in a keeper.

          

  Sus inherited her mother’s fish-catching ability–she had fun watching, though.

            

  Two buddies….Poppy patiently showed Wyatt how to hold a catfish without getting “horned.”

         

  And that stringer-ful was quickly turned into supper, at just about the exact hour Ole Man Winter was leaving and Sweet Spring was making her appearance, which we happily applauded…and that was our celebration!
