More video of us at the pond

Here’s another video of us at the pond.  Taylor had jumped off the diving board 4 or 5 times but as soon we turned the camera on she was a big chicken.  This was her first time swimming in the pond and she was a little freaked out because this was the same pond she had just caught fish from.  I told her that the fish wouldn’t bother her but I don’t think she ever quite believed me.

A Day at the Pond

We spent the day at cousin Stacy’s pond and had a great time.  It was hot but we swam in the pond to cool off and paddled the canoe around a lot. Man, my arms are sore.  While eating our lunch a deer came out of the woods and got a drink on the other side of the pond.  We got a nice long look at her before she bounded off.  Taylor got in some target practice with her .22 rifle (see video below).  We caught lots of fish and kept just enough for a meal.  Taylor caught almost all of them.  All in all it was just about a perfect day.

Daddy Daughter Fishing Expedition

Hey everyone long time no post.  Sorry but I go through phases where I’m really into updating this site and then things get busy and this just gets put on the back burner.  Anyway, this weekend Taylor and I went fishing for the first time this year.  We went to cousin Stacy’s pond and they were really biting.  She would no sooner get her worm in the water and a fish would instantly take it.  Taylor caught two really nice sized bass.  One of them she caught while I was taking a restroom break by the nearest tree.  I heard her scream and looked over to see her little Barbie pole almost bent in half.  By the time I got there she had him up on the bank and was trying to pick him up.  In the first 30 minutes we caught 10 to 12 and she just got plain tired of reeling them in and took a break.  I had been so busy fixing her worm and taking the fish off the hook for her that I hadn’t had a chance to fish so I took a few minutes and caught three while she “explored”.  We ate lunch right by the water and enjoyed the beautiful day.  When we got home it was time to clean them and she stuck with me the entire time playing with the fish.  Check out the video to see her with her catch.
