Catch and Release: A First Fishing Experience

Todd took Ladybug on her very first fishing trip on Sunday. First they made a quick stop at Bass Pro Shops so Lauren could pick out her very own fishing rod. She wisely selected Barbie with a light up handle (natch!). Then they headed out to Mimi and Papa Fish's house in Loganville to check out the action on their lake. She loved EVERY thing about it-- picking out a live cricket, casting, reeling in her catch, petting the fish, and throwing it back in. Just check out the pure joy on her face...I think Daddy was equally happy that she loves it as much as he does. His own little fishing buddy...
Note: The photos are not in any particular order (pure laziness on my 9 months pregnant part. I am sure you can all find room in your hearts to forgive my lack of ooompf on a dreary Monday morning!).
So proud!
She told Daddy tht the fish felt like soap. I translated this to mean slimy. I thought it was a pretty wise observation for a 2 year old!
Just pure happiness!

Look at the concentration on her face...

"Like this Daddy?"



"I think I am getting the hang of this...."

Getting out the cricket-- no squirming!
