In our housing subdivision there are 5 different pools and each year before they open up in the spring they use one of them for a fishing derby fundraiser. They stock the pool with 750 trout and let people come in and fish them out for a fee. Of course this is right up my boys alleys. It however is not my area of expertise and their was a lot of whining that if Daddy was here he would have pulled out all the fish by now. We didn't catch a thing the entire 2 hours we were there. We saw some other people pull a couple out. They had brought their own fishing poles and worms and lures which I didn't know you could do. So Aidan was also mad that he didn't have his cool little casting fishing pole and was relegated to sitting still with a cane pole that they gave us. So it wasn't a very successful outing. Aidan still had a lot of fun and was amazed that the fish were eating marshmallows. We saw more frogs and grasshoppers in the pool then fish. Thankfully, this is not the pool closest to our house because even though I know they empty it and scrub it and chemical it up I am still a little grossed out by seeing it all nasty yesterday and don't think I could take the kids there in a few more weeks when it opens.
