We went down to valleyfest yesterday and they had some anglers out there helping kids learn how to cast and fish over by the falls. The man (pictured behind Flo and Jack) helped him cast and fish yesterday over and over until Jack had the biggest fish in the pond take a bite of his worm...
Jack (with the help of daddy) attempted to reel it in but the fish gave them a little trouble since he was a bigun! Flo definitely had to lend some muscle (remember the circus balancing strength?) and Jack was like "ow ow ow". Yep, Flo was crushing his little hands by helping steady the line and pull in the fish.
There were quite a few spectators and the fish put on a good show...
But in the end Jack prevailed. We were so proud.
They put his fish (who he named Woody) in an ice chest and Jack kept opening up the lid to look at him jump around again and again. Then, he posed for his picture to be taken for the outdoor sports club's website with his fish - soooo proud!
It was a good day for Jack. A good day for Daddy. Not so good a day for Woody.
We also visited the petting zoo part of Valleyfest and this goat though it would be funny to keep eating my back pack. He wouldn't stop. He liked me or he thought the combined smells of fruit snacks, fish crackers and baby wipes were too much to ignore.
The kids loved petting all the animals and cooper wanted to hug then all...llamas, goats, sheep, bunnies, chickens....not all of them wanted to be hugged by him but that didn't stop a run by hugging by Coops.
The bunnies were especially popular with both boys. Jack couldn't believe how soft they were and lets just say it was a good thing this bunny had a fence between him and coops.
Valleyfest was really fun. It was a beautiful day and really nice to get out and see some new things. RIP Woody.
