Brendan's 1st Camping & Trout Fishing Trip: June 21-22, 2012

Now that he is a big 4-year-old, we decided that Brendan was finally ready for his 1st family camping and trout-fishing trip. He was so excited! We took him to Bennett Springs Trout Park as it is one of our favorite locations, and we were not disappointed. Brendan was able to pull in his first fish, and he almost hooked and pulled one in on his own (it got away at the last second...little rascal). He helped Daddy set up the tent, slept in his own sleeping bag, and was able to roast hot dogs over the open fire. We only stayed one night, but it went so well that we might even try for two next year! Another family tradition is started.

Brendan and Daddy set up our tent.

Though hooked by Daddy, this was the first fish that Brendan has ever landed. He was so excited!
