Fishing was an adventure! We had the perfect bait - hot dogs. And the perfect spot - a little city park near our house. And the perfect anglers - Oscar & Angelica. I am not exaggerating when I tell you that the second the kids would put their line went in the water, we were reeling it out with a fish on it. The kids were ecstatic! We could not pull the fish out fast enough (and then of course promptly let them go). All 3 of us were cackling like fools and drew a crowd. LOL And Oscar was so kind to Angelica and helped her. It was a glorious morning!!!
The only slight hiccup we had was when Oscar loaned his pole to another little boy, who caught a fish...pulled it out...and it smacked Angelica across the head. It dampened her spirits temporarily. And I don't blame her. Getting hit in the head with a wet, slimy fish always puts me in a bad mood.
Here are some of the pcitures from my cell phone. You didn't think I would post a fish tale without proof, didjya?!
It feels like it is 4:00 in the afternoon. I am exhausted, but it was so worth it. I'm headed down for a big, fat nap. Enjoy your Saturday...wherever you are!

It sure sounds like you guys had a lot of fun, it is so great! we love you guys.
GO oscar, GO angelica !
so it's true, it isn't that we aren't good fisherpeople after all,
we just had the wrong bait.
i wasn't convinced our gummy bears would excite the fish too much but it was sure fun watching them grab that bobber and then split!!
all my love,
