End of May, and June 4th free fishing day.

The weather here has been pretty up and down.  On rainy/cold days we find various ways of getting the extra energy out and keeping ourselves occupied, for example by practicing our "gymnastic routines,"  going swimming, and crafting (i.e. making foam fish and "catching" them with magnets).
On the rare but welcome sunny warm days we go for walks to throw rocks in the river, build "sailboats" in the back yard, and go exploring.  On one of our outings we even caught a frog!  Fun fun!  Ethan wanted to throw it in the river like a rock I think.
Last Saturday was free fishing day here in WY, and so we figured we'd take advantage of it.  We didn't catch a thing (although the fish were jumping all around us --they just didn't want what we had to offer), but it was still a beautiful day and a fun family outing.  The kids had fun throwing rocks in the river some more (a favorite pastime that they never tire of), eating outside, and getting muddy.  What more could a kid ask for? (Besides eating fish --which I think they wanted to do just for the novelty of it.)  Anyway, just for an extra bonus, you get quite a few glimpses of my huge pregnant belly.  (Ugh, and I still have 7 weeks to go!)  I was hoping it would bring me good luck while fishing, since I was probably about that pregnant with Ethan when I caught my last fish (sad I know --we're not very good at fishing apparently).   We'll just have to keep trying.
