Today Ethan had a field trip with his class to the NC Wildlife Resources Commission fishing ponds on Old Raeford road. It’s a pretty neat program, where you get issued a fishing rod and some worms and can go crazy fishing- good practice for the real deal. Ethan was so excited this morning that he got up on his own half an hour early, got ready and sat on the couch with his backpack on for just about half an hour waiting to go to the bus stop!!! If we wouldn’t have stopped him he probably would’ve waited at the bus stop that whole time-silly boy! Parents were invited to join in on the joys of fishing, so I packed up Mr.Jack and headed out, what was not too good for Jackson- it overlapped his naptime, so now I’m dealing with the consequences- a grumpy discombobulated baby. All the kids had such a blast and it was quite funny to watch the adults dodge the fishing hooks flying trough the air going every where and what direction. 
HAVING FISHING FUN Ethan did just about got to lift two fish out of the water, but just after we got them above the water surface , they fell right back in the pond! I would imagine that by now those fish are pretty smart, since it is “catch and let go” place. So Ethan was not all that happy about that. He is back in the process of learning that it’s o.k. to not win at all games you play and it’s not a big deal if some your friends got a fish and you didn’t- oh the joys of parenting. But overall it was nice to see my little guy on a school day and just relax outside and do something fun.
