Evie and I went to a local children's farm yesterday, where she had a blast feeding baby goats, gobbling at a male turkey, seeing her first bald eagle and catching her first fish! I have to admit that a nearby dad who was there fishing with his son taught me how to put a worm on the hook, and then helped me get our fish off of the hook and back in the lake. Next time I'll know how to do it myself, which makes me feel like supermommy. Let me assure the rest of you who might have the same hesitations that I did...worms don't feel nearly as gross as they look, and they don't bleed when you put them on the hook. It's not nearly as disgusting as you might think. Anyhow. Unfortunately, we were too excited about our little fish (it was silver...small trout?) and forgot to get a picture of it for posterity. But we did get a few other pictures from the day.
(My friend is helping Evie hold her rod while I take the picture, and Evie's little friend is a second away from petting the worms.)

Love that she caught a fish!

The butterfly picture is so FUN!
ReplyDeleteElliott has encountered the notion of fishing via pictures a few times here lately, but he is not amused. He saw a cartoon picture of a dog fishing and said, "I don't want the fish to eat the string. I don't want the dog to eat the fish." I'm afraid Evie will be fishing alone on your next visit here!
