Ava finally got to use her fishing pole that she got from Nonna and Papa for Christmas for something other than casting in the living room or basement. We headed to Anderson Pond after nap today.
Papa getting the bait ready.
Papa making the first cast.
Ava reeled in a couple times after some hits to find the fish had stolen her worms.
When Papa took the worms out to rebait the hook Ava shrieked and said, "Oh, it's so CUTE and tiny!"
Papa showing Ava how to bait the hook.
After a few times of reeling in to see the fish stole the worm, they switched to a worm that's harder to get off the hook and had better luck.
Her first catch!! You have to look really closely by her leg closest to the pond. A perfect Ava sized fish!
Examining the catch. We thought she'd touch it, but no such luck.
I've never seen something so tiny in a pond before. Her third catch of the day was much the same size.
Taking some time to love Daddy!
A team effort to reel in the second catch of the day.
Now that's a fish!! Ava announced that we had dinner when she saw this one!
Snuggles with Nonna. We had so much fun watching Ava fish with Papa and Chris. I think there will be many more visits to Anderson Pond this summer!
