Fisherwoman

Daddy recently decided to give fishing a try, and Alena has gone with him a couple of times. She caught a "big mouth bass" out of Grandpa's pond and we fried it up for supper and it was really good. The only bad thing is, she didn't have the proper gear. She refused to use the little black pole that Mommy used as a kid because it wasn't pink. We were at Cabela's this week when she saw a Disney Princesses fishing pole. She took it off the rack and was carrying it around. When I told her that we needed to put it back, she told me, "Don't take it away from me." Well, I guess we were feeling crazy, so we let her get it. She got a couple of sparkly rubber worms for the fish to eat which she played with for about an hour on our way home. She has been practicing casting and reeling in a weight in the backyard. When she reeled it in, she declared it was a keeper and let everyone eat some of it

It's a keeper!
