Fishin' with Daddy

Burrough's Park stocked one of their big ponds a few weeks ago.  Bill loves to fish and thought it would be fun to take Avery for the first time.  He came home one day with a Toy Story fishing pole that she instantly fell in love with.  It has a little plastic fish on the end of the line, and Ave could play with that thing for hours with or without a body of water nearby!
 
One Sunday, Bill decided to take Ave to the park to try it out for real.  Bill and Karl had been up there for a couple hours and I dropped Ave off when she woke up from her nap.  They caught a fish right before we got there and left it on the line.  Ave was able to reel the little thing in and was absolutely thrilled!
 



I was amazed at how brave she was.  I wouldn't touch a fish to save my life so I was pretty impressed that she dove right in!

She couldn't take her eyes off the fish long enough for a pic.

Bill came home that night and told me that if we never had a boy it would be okay.  He said Avery could just do everything that a boy would do.  She still talks about fishing to this day and loved the time that she spent with her Daddy.
