Fun on the Farm

Last night for family home evening we went fishing at the Doman pond, out at the farm. (Grandpa Doman and Uncle Tim stock the pond with trout every year so the grandkids can go fishing). We were pretty lucky to get some great weather (it's been raining and raining and raining...) Cambria caught the first two fish and just stood there watching the first one flop around in the net and kept saying "it's so cute!" Then Tyler told her we were going to eat it for dinner and she looked at him with a furrowed brow and asked, "why? I don't want to." Then all night long she kept saying, mostly to herself, "I like to catch fish but not eat them." We'll see how she does when given a bite or two to eat.


Ethan caught a fish with dad's help and giggled and screamed something none of us could understand the whole time Tyler was reeling it in. He mostly liked feeding the ducks (Grandpa Doman also buys ducks for the pond every year) with mom and grandma and riding the 4 wheeler.

Ethan's favorite place to be.

Trevor caught three fish, one of which he caught entirely by himself. He cast the line, hooked it when the fish bit, and then reeled it in. The only thing Tyler did was help with the net. He was very proud of himself and didn't stop grinning the entire night. He says he doesn't want to eat it but we told him that's the point...you catch it and then eat it.

We feel so fortunate to live in Oregon with Grandmas and Grandpas close by...and we especially love the benefits of going to the farm and riding 4-wheelers, camping, fishing, baby animals and playing with cousins.
