Fishing & Memorial Day Weekend

We decided to take advantage of the Free Fishing Day in Nebraska in late May. Of course, it happened to be the windiest day ever! We got a nice spot on a dock at a little pond. First disaster occurred when our cooler blew into the water. Fortunately, it stayed right side up, so Michael was able to retrieve it from the other side of the pond. It was that windy. We just watched it blow across. Then, while Michael was holding "Will's" pole, a fish bit. Will claimed it as his fish. We threw the little fish back. The second disaster occurred when the hat that Will is wearing in the below photo blew into the water. No chance in retrieving it. It is heart-breaking to a 6 and 4 year old to watch it sink in to the water. Oh, the tears that were shed over that hat.
We decided it was a good time to leave before Nicholas blew into the water! On the way home, we purchased 3 new hats from Walmart. So much for our free day!

Memorial Day weekend is the opening weekend for Cody Park Rides. Below are some photos of the kids on the ferris wheel and eating ice cream. It was a good evening. Nothing blew away:)
