The kids, well the daughter unit mostly, spent most of the afternoon fishing at our pond.  No, she doesn't own her own fishing pole. I know, I am a horrible mother.  I really should buy the girl a fishing pole for as much as she loves to fish.  Just hadn't got around to it.  To much trouble to get the license and drive to the lake and such. But with living in this neighborhood, there is a pond stocked with fish.  Not that I would recommend eating any of them, but stocked none the less, and a license is not required.  Luckily for my daughter there was another mother and child out at the pond. Unlucky for the mother and child, my daughter is fearless and knows no strangers.  Thankfully the mother was very nice and let my daughter sit with them and even had a spare fishing pole she let my daughter use.  How unfortunate for the fish!!  I did go over there for a couple of hours and sit with them. Some other neighbors, some that we are quickly becoming good friends with even came out with their fishing poles.  It really was quite fun. And naturally I had my camera! Might as well make a day of it! That was until my son, who is not much for fishing, got incredibly bored and insisted we head home so he could kill aliens on the Xbox.  I did plead with him to stay outside. Enjoy the sunshine and run around.  He didn't care for any of my suggestions.  I did manage to talk him into helping me clean the garage since we absolutely had to go home according to him!  (Go figure!)
I got some really good pics though!  Will be investing in some fishing poles when the daughter unit gets back from Cali for the summer!

 He is such a hambone!
I love the Weeping Willow at the edge of our pond!


He loves exploring!





Not sure what kind of fish this is. Anyone else know?



I am so partial to Black & Whites!!

Had to get some more of the tree touching the water!
