Once a year the City Of Frisco Parks & Rec Dept releases 3,750 rainbow trout in a nearby pond. Any and all kids ages 0 to 17 are invited to fish for FREE! Since water temperatures will begin to rise and trout cannot survive in warm water, all were encouraged to "catch and take" up to 5 fish. Sounds easy - 5 kids, 25 fish! YUM! Glenn promised to clean the fish at the park! :)As you can imagine, there were people EVERYWHERE! We didn't arrive till 8 and some were there by 6. But, we baited and began to fish! And fish! And fish! It's now 9:30 and there is not one caught, but people around us are catching fish. We fish! And fish! And fish! It's now 11 and "the troops" are beginning to get restless.
Christopher gave up and was delighted when the people next to us gave him their leftover nightcrawlers! SCORE!
I left at 11:30 and offered to take whoever wanted to come. Everyone but Zachary left with me. He and Glenn stayed for another hour but still NO LUCK! He is now a GREAT caster of the rod! Maybe next time guys!

It sounds so fun! Sounds like you guys have the same luck we do - never catch anything! And yet, the kids still beg to go fishing. What a fun idea, though.
WOW. I can't believe you didn't catch anything!
Dude!!!! Even I could catch a fish. Come on!
Didn't realize you had a blog - now I'm going to keep up on your fam though so far away. Congrats on the sale of your house - I'm sure that's a relief!! Miss you though
Jeff hates fishing. I think he has ADD. To bad you didn't catch anything though.
