I am currently in the Poconos; we arrived here around 12 pm. The house that we are staying at is very comfortable and beautiful. Our view of the backyard is a blue, calm lake. Today was basically a "try and test" day. My dad went fishing with floaters that he brought from home. But, he had the idea of using marshmallows as bait. I somewhat helped him, but mostly watched him fail at his theory and skipped rocks. My dad left the fishing pole with the marshmallow for a few hours, and when we checked the marshmallow vanished. We weren't sure if the marshmallow dissolved from leaving it for several hours or if it was actaully devoured. So, we conducted a little experiment. Our hypothesis was that if the marshmallow remains in the water for 3 hours, then the fish ate it. We placed the marshamllow into a cup of water, 2 hours passed and it is looking like the fish ate it. Hopefully, tomorrow we will find a fish, especially when the weather will be much warmer.
At around 9:00 pm, after dinner we went outside to have a bonfire. My uncle and dad struggled to start a fire without chemicals and refused to use it. The fire was faint, and wasn't large enough to roast marshmallows. 45 minutes later, they finally got a fire and we roasted marshmallows. hehe I accidentally burnt mine...ooops
Well..that is it for today, and I will update you tomorrow. Here are some pictures that I took today. XDD
