What a great way to spend the day before spring break! We went to Joe Budd for a field trip full of fishing and hiking. We all know Mrs. Owen loves to fish, and if you have ever taken a kid fishing, it is quite the experience. It was so much fun to watch the children learn to cast a rod and reel, bait their hooks, and to hear the screams and excitement as they started reeling in the fish. Each student averaged anywhere from 7-13 fish caught today! All the fish were released, but if you ever want to have a good fish fry, take these kids to the nearest pond and they can show you how it's done!
A special thank you to our chaperones. You all were great, and a BIG help with the bait and getting the fish off the lines. As much as I love fishing, both of those are Mr. Owen's job when we are out on the boat! :) Thanks to our wonderful chaperones, I didn't have to touch anything slimy, and got to take lots of pictures!
Speaking of pictures, be sure to check out the slideshow from our trip.
Lots of great shots and plenty of evidence to back up those fishing stories you have heard!
