hooked

in a brief moment of sun these past few days, the boys embarked on a new adventure in our backyard.

learning to fish.

with the oh so popular spiderman fishing pole.

no, we don't have a pond stocked with fish in our yard. mosquitoes yes, fish no.

john thought it might be wise to go over a few basic skills with the boys before they set out to really fish.

good idea.

it seems that casting the line is quite a coordination challenge. with some practice though, i think they took turns "getting it."

if it ever stops raining around here, they might get to try these out.
