Jeff ended up spending Memorial Day the way that I should have spent it…fishing! It was Jeff’s son’s birthday, and every year for his birthday his mom takes him down to Yogi Bear’s Jellystone Park in Indiana. There are a number of these parks throughout the United States, and there are quite a few in Indiana as well. It made for a perfect setting for Jeff and his clan to get some fishing in.

Jeff and his fiance have 4 kids between the two of them, and Jeff managed to get all of them in on the fishing. One of the boys even managed to catch his first fish by himself. Apparently the park has their own private ponds, and they are well stocked with some hybrid bluegills, as well as bass, and an occasional catfish. My two year old niece even got in on the act as well, and even though her Dora pole was left at home, he still managed to talk her into catching a few fish.

I wish that I could say I was involved in this fishing adventure, but I wasn’t. The wife and I were slackers and decided to go to dog obedience instead (plus we weren’t invited like everyone else…haha..I had to get that one in Jeff). Hopefully, sometime in the future, we will have the opportunity to stay at one of these parks. They look like an absolute blast for kids as well as adults.

Man I want to go fishing!
