Jeff's Uncle Mark and Aunt Jackie came for graduation weekend. Accompanied, of course, by Jeff's fan club, cousins Sarah and Mike. A trip to the farm was in order as Mike wanted to fish. This was the first time anyone has fished the pond since it was stocked 3 years ago. On his first cast, he caught his first lifetime fish and the first fish caught from our pond. At 3 years old, the fish, and subsequent fish, were 10" - 12" long. Mike also won the prize for most fish caught.
Sarah got in on the angling and caught 2 or 3 compared to Mike's 5 or so.
Andrew and Jeff, not as many.
Jackie and Jann cheered us all on.
I was kept busy changing lures and unhooking fish. All were released safely. I think though that the population needs a correction, so I might have a fish fry later this summer.
The traditional cookout.
And Jeff smacking his lips from the S'more he just ate. But notice the deer in the background that hung around for 15 minutes or so, oblivious to what was going on 40 yards away.
No visit to the farm by visitors is complete without a tour via the ATVs.
The view that evening.
