(Now with photos) And the Grand Prize goes to.....

Okay, I seem to only be able to upload photos if I use Foxfire. Does anyone else have that issue? Anyhow, on Saturday we attended Spanish Fork's Huck Finn Day. This is a day of free fishing for kids. They stock the pond at Canyon View Park with 600 trout. There are prizes, and kids can dress up as Huck Finn or Becky Thatcher and win prizes for that, too. Well, Emily won the grand prize for [drum roll, please] having the smallest fish! Yes, you read that right! And it wasn't a booby prize, either. She won a new bike! She caught a 2.25 oz fish! Nate just about threw it back, but we stopped him. Eliza almost won the other bike (only two were given--one for the biggest and one for the smallest fish). She caught a 1 pound 5 oz fish. In the last few minutes someone else caught a fish just 1/2 oz bigger! But, Eliza didn't care--they were giving out candy and she was in seventh heaven with a lollipop! Sarah also won a prize. She got the second prize for the Becky Thatcher costume contest, which was a fishing net. We also came away with 7 t-shirts [they gave a prize everytime you caught anything--but mostly the prizes were leftover sports t-shirts], candy, drinks, not to mention the five fish we caught. They became our delicious Sunday dinner cooked by Nate [that was my prize!] Needless to say, we're hooked and we'll be attending Huck Finn day every year from now on!
