Memorial Day Fishing

What better way to enjoy Memorial Day than by spending time fishing. Here are some photos from our afternoon at the pond. (You can click on the photos for a larger view.) The cows and Big Boy didn’t seem impressed with our fishing efforts since we didn’t have any cow candy to share with them.
