Fishing with Grandpa

I had asked my parents if they would come down so my dad could give Andrew a fishing lesson. There is a cub scout patch that he wants to earn and he needs to do all the activities associated with fishing to earn it. This also gives him more arrow points (if he ever earns his Wolf) and a belt loop!

They came on Friday. We were going to go up to the Provo river but then switch to Tibble Fork Reservoir at the last minute. I was more than okay with that because I love the AF canyon so much.

They started with a casting lesson in the backyard.

We got up to Tibble Fork and it was beautiful.
It took a long time to get everything set and ready to go so I took pictures.
Of everything.
The kids were really into what grandpa was teaching them.

I'm still taking pictures.
We could see the fish. They were everywhere. They were jumping out of the water to eat bugs, they were swimming near the shore and my guess is they were looking at us and laughing
because this is all we ever caught. Lots and lots of moss.
The kids got a lot of casting practice.

I was getting really hungry and tired. It wasn't long before Andrew was hungry too. We officially gave up on catching a fish. We went to a picnic area and had a weenie roast before heading home. The kids kept saying that they had a lot of fun even if they didn't catch anything. They really want to try again.
