The kids have been waiting to go fishing. We drove to a small town called Dufer and then to a camp just outside of Dufer. It was a free fishing day for kids. There was some cub and boy scouts there and fish and game/state forestry people there for this event. They all did a great job - free fishing, food, games, etc. All there had a great day!
The day started out slow with three kids wanting to fish with three poles and two parents trying to get it all ready. Sydney, being the oldest was the last to get her stuff so she was bored quickly.
Paden made the first catch of the day and caught 11-13 in fish. Yea Paden! He was very gun ho about his fish and wanted to do more. 
Eldon was very patient as his fishing pole broke right away. Luckily the fish and game had loaners. He got a nice little pole. Eldon caught the second fish of the day. He was very happy.
Sydney had a hard time and seemed to be unlucky with every pole she tried. But finally she caught the third fish and was very happy. It changed her whole perspective. We all had a great time and learned a lot. We only caught 5 fish out of the 25 that we could go home with but for a family that doesn't fish or eat fish a whole lot, 5 was great!
