Alex's first time fishing

Well, one of the good things about Jon being a Webelos leader is that Alex has become an honorary webelo. Jon almost always takes Alex with him to Webelos, which he really enjoys. A few weeks back the Webelos went fishing at a trout farm. It was a little rainy out, but not enough to dampen their spirits. Alex was really excited to try fishing for the first time, but he got a little scared when he actually caught fish - almost dropping the poll and losing them.
Here he is - so poud - with one of the 3 fish he caught. We fried them up for lunch a couple days later. They were pretty good and it was fun for Alex to eat his catch.

How fun. I remember the Cold Springs farm. It almost seems like cheating to fish at a trout farm, but the result is the same. Plus, it pays off when you get to eat the fresh fish rather than going home empty handed. Well done Alex!

That is so cute that he gets to go with his dad. What do you do in your ward?

He looks so happy. I think it's great he goes with Jon. Some good male bonding time.

That is such a fun place to visit. FYI, I went to high school with the owners, and we could even be related. Great job Alex and Jon!!!!Let us know when the grill is hot!
