Memorial Day Fishing

Although we have taken the kids to go fishing two times in the past month, they have yet to catch anything.  Fearing that they would "loose their steam," Ron decided that it was time to provide an opportunity for Lia and Logan to go fishing and actually catch a fish.  So, after doing some online research, Ron found a farm in Spanaway that boasts two very stocked fishing ponds that basically guarantee your child a chance to catch a fish.  So, we decided to give Old McDebbie's Farm a chance and had a fabulous time!  The weather was a amazing and the kids had so much fun exploring the farm and all of the different animals and playing on their huge park before giving the fishing a try.  And, to our amazement, both Logan and Lia caught fish and rather quickly, too!  It was so fun to see their excitement as they reeled in their fish and Ron and I had a great time tonight dining on fresh trout.  Needless to say, we can't wait to go to Old McDebbie's again!

When we first got there, the kids immediately wanted to check out the bunny.  We were actually allowed to go inside the cage and pet it, too!
