Teach a man to fish...

The city is hosting a week long fishing clinic.  Jim was pretty excited about it, and these 2 hooligans were too!  As a matter of fact, when weather pushed it back a week, Quincy had a near panic attack because she thought she would miss it.  
When I went to pick them up, I couldn't help but notice 2 things.  1- Quincy was severely out numbered (as in NO other girls there). 2- Quincy was by far the dirtiest kid being picked up.  Apparently she took the lessons to heart.  I was amused by how much stuff they learned today.  "Wind from the east, fish bite the least, wind from the west, fishin' is the best" and a few other things!   Today they were fishing for bluegill.  Not only did they learn to fish for a specific breed, but they learned how to tell males apart from females, and what size is a good one for eating small fish.  
Quincy caught 4 bluegill and Preston caught 3.  Tomorrow, they are fishing for crappie.  
Speaking of fish....my kids love to swim.  No amount of it being 75 degrees can convince them that there will be warmer days ahead.  It's summer, the pool is open, we must swim!  Grandma buying new goggles did nothing to help my "but it's cold" argument!  At least their eyes were warm!
