So I mentioned in a previous post how Cooper "earned" his Batman fishing pole. He has been pretty excited about the whole fishing thing. We went to a fun fishing store to buy our worms. The old man there was so nice to get Cooper excited. He let him catch a few fish in nets out of his little ponds. He also showed him the big box of "bait" crickets. Cooper was so excited!
So we went out to Scott Lake here on base, and I have to say, he was quite the caster. However, at the first spot we picked, the fish just kept nibbling the worms (another fun part of fishing) off the hook, but not "biting". So we moved spots and wala! He caught 3 fish! He reeled them in all by himself too. It was our kind of fishing! We were only gone from home for 45 minutes, and Cooper was satisfied! He caught little "blue gills". Supposedly there are bigger fish there, but those were perfect for him. 
The FUNNY PART, was Andrew told him to hold up 3 fingers for the picture of his 3rd fish...and instead he held up 4 fingers. Andrew said, "You're already a fisherman! Stretching the truth." :) 
Gunner had fun playing with his Tigger fishing pole with a fake fish tied to the end of it, and watching the frogs and turtles.

I don't think Andrew is working much! Seems like you guys are always out doing fun things as a family. Those are great times. Cooper looks like an old pro. Cute pics.
We took Noah fishing for the first time this summer in Utah and he loved it too. Caught three fish, just like Cooper. He's so cute, holding up 4 fingers and a little fish!
That's cute. We love to go out fishing with the kids. We were not to successful in catching anything this year.
It is so fun to see all of the St. Louis things you do...and I love seeing the St. Louis Cardinals baseball hats and shirts! So cool! It looks like you are having a blast and that is awesome. Good for you.

That is so cute! I am sure greg can't wait until he can do that with his boys! :)
Well, Cooper has caught more fish than I have in my whole life! So fun! And I loved the post of your favorite resturants in the different places you've lived, reading it made me hungry though!
