Fishing Derby

Pictures

Tonight was the kickoff for Camp Eagle's Nest, the VBSish summer activities for Sycamore Tree UMC. Our event for the night was a fishing derby in the pond behind the church. After Bailey and I caught exactly zero fish last year, we had high hopes but low spirits. Our spirits sunk even more as Bailey had bites 4 times, but the line snapped each time (thank you, dry rot). Finally, with 5 minutes left, we landed a 17oz catfish with some yummy chicken livers, giving Bailey her first fish. And yes, my hands currently smell like a combination of stink bait and chicken livers. No finger foods for me.

Tomorrow night's activity is a night hike at Wesley Woods. If anyone is interested in coming, we will be meeting at Wesley Woods at 7. After the night hike, we will be roasting marshmallows around a campfire and singing camp songs. If you want directions or more info, let me know! (Saturday's activity is a picnic at Metcalf Bottoms from 4-8pm and Sunday is a trip to the Lost Sea at 2--again... if you are interested in going, let us know... or just show up.)
