They give each one of the kids a plastic baggie and they go into the pond area (about 20 kids at a time) and find a volunteer to help them. Then they get in the pond that is filled with fish and try to catch one!! Kam was worried that the fish would bite her toes, but luckily not one fish took a bite at her!

After the FISH RODEO, we walk through the park and do some activities. They have bounce houses:
HAHA Apparently the bounce houses give some kids wedgies! :) I didn't notice him doing that until just now!!And they have a tent full of games and face tattoos:
It was a HOT but fun filled day!

So awesome but leaves me with one question I am dying to have the answer to... what in the hell do you do with the fish as you're walking around all day? Do they come with a free cooler to keep them in or do the kids also get to watch you bash them on the head, gut them and cook them to keep them from dying and smelling up the back seat of your car?
GOOD QUESTION!!! The kids usually like to carry them around because they are so excited to have them. So, by the time we get home we have to throw them away. Lots of people will throw them on the ground at the park (serious) or throw them in the garbage cans their. HOWEVER, this year, some guy was really smart and brought a cooler filled with ice. He told everyone when they came out of the pond that if they were just going to throw them away he would take them. Considering they had 600 fish in the pond, I bet he easily got 300 and will have enough fish to eat for the rest of his life! :)
