First "Fishing" Trip

For months, we've been promising Grant that we'd take him fishing at the beach.  We aren't fishers, so in anticipation of that, we picked up a rookie fishing pole (all gear included), so we were all set.  And we lucked out in that we had a fishing pier an easy walk down from our beach house.  But we had one little secret.  Remember how I said we weren't fishers? Well, we didn't really want to catch any fish since that would involve hooks and removing fish from hooks and possibly cleaning the fish if we decided to keep them.  So we didn't tell the boys, but we just tied one of the plastic worms that came with our rookie pole to the end of the line and headed out. 

Kyle and Grant stopped at the pool for practice:


Then we hiked down the beach to our pier:

 

The boys had a blast taking turns dropping in the line and reeling it up (the real fisherman weren't even catching fish that day, so our lack of a hook didn't hold us back):
