on saturday morning, one week after my birthday, i found a present at my front door -- another gift from uncle rikk & julie -- a superman FISHING POLE and tackle box!! the pole came with a plastic red fish on the end of the line that allowed me to practice casting & reeling the line in. i practiced in the back yard for a while before my papa took me to cedar lake to test it out in a real lake!
i did some more practicing off the dock at the lake for quite a while. i'm getting old enough that me and my papa can take little fishing trips together like this now. by the end of the day, i even got to try a REAL worm on the end of my hook. i like worms (my auntie Phon does NOT like worms! she screams!) we didn't catch anything, but i'm really getting the hang of it!
needless to say, fishing is tiring. it wiped me out! after fishing, we visited greg & debbie to check on their small construction project and i fell asleep in the car on the way home. my papa carried me inside to the couch and i was soooo out of it i slept for another hour, oblivious to all of the noise around me. and i never let go of my animal cracker baggie (from my auntie debbie) the entire time! pretty intense.
