For the last couple of years we have taken Jude to a local Fishing Derby in Northglenn Colorado. It is held on the first Saturday of June every year – for those of you who are Colorado readers you should know that the first weekend of June is a free fishing weekend! That means anyone and everyone can fish with out a license! Nice!
We always arrive pretty early for the derby and find our spot. Jude was ready to fish! It was a perfect morning, not too cold for once!
This was Teagan’s first year attending the Fishing Derby and goodness she was excited!
Silly kiddos! Teagan picked out her first fishing pole the night before the derby. She, of course, picked out a pink princess pole! Classic Teagan!!
Oh no!! Worms!!!! Thank goodness Teagan and Jude have a daddy that loves to fish and put worms on hooks! Not mommy’s thing at all!!
Learning that the art of fishing takes a lot of patience and staying quiet was kind of difficult for Jude this year. But he did well. Such a big boy in these pictures – hard to believe he will be 5 in a few short weeks!
This picture cracks me up. My view of the kiddos and Jeremy. Jeremy is holding each of their fishing lines so they do not get tangled up. So funny.
Even after fishing for close to 2 hours we didn’t have any luck. Not bites or anything! Bummer!! But the kids and Jeremy had a great time. Teagan especially loved to reel in the line…over and over!!
A girl and her daddy sitting at the lake. Precious picture!

This looks so fun! My kids would have loved it. They've been begging to go fishing, and I can't wait to take them!
I don't think the worms part of it would work for me either!
I haven't gone fishing in decades.. might be fun to try again.
