Jase was most looking forward to fishing more than any other part of our camping trip. He got a new fishing pole and his Grandpa Jack got him a fully stocked tackle box, and he was ready to go! He was carrying his pole around the camp site the entire morning patiently waiting for everyone to get up moving.
Grandpa Jack also showed him how to wear his hat backwards (which is now the only way he will wear it!) and how to flex his muscles.
Finally, we headed down to the pond!
For the first 30 seconds, fishing was fun. I mean he did have some awesome company and comedy. Company being Ma-Ma, Da-Da and his cousin John. Comedy being when Daddy tried to teach him how to cast his line, and ended up casting the line into the tree. Guess he thought we were fishing for birds.

Unfortunately, standing still was a little too much for this two year old. He found that throwing rocks in the water, playing with the worms, and mostly, playing with his tackle box, was much more exciting.
Two fish were caught that morning, if you can call something that small a fish. Jase wasn't sure about touching it, but when we told him he could throw it back in the water, he didn't hesitate to reach over and grab it out of Grandpa Jack's hand. He couldn't pick it up, though. He kept trying and finally gave up in a fit of laughter because, it was "too slippy!"
While Rob, John, and Michael (who eventually woke up and joined us at the pond) fished a little longer, me and my dad kept Jase occupied posing for pictures with him.
