Well we headed out to Salem after a quick stop at the local Walley World. Truly a nice day to take a kid fishing.
Now with that said Chi wasn't into fishing all that much. He was however into the DUCKS that are all over the place.
Lots of tiny fish in close and we had a great time. Didn't catch any fish but watched the bobber bounce and get dragged all over the place.
Man that is a nice Park! Well cared for. I wonder about the people who use it though. Empty worm containers thrown into the pond. Like that styrofoam will break down in the next 1000 years or so. What were they thinking? But it get better than that. Over by the *swimming beach* there were lots of folks out enjoying Memmorial Day. Having BBQs, eating KFC and the like. This one family had brought shrimp and munched out. Nope I didn't see them, just their blanket and the piles of shrimp casings all around it. I said they'd pick it up before they leave. WRONG! While we let the little tyke play in the water they packed up and left the mess on the lawn. What slobs!
Well I had a ton of fun with the grandson anyway. The next trip he may be more ready to fish than this one. I think this was a granddad outing.
