On our Labor Day weekend trip down to Woolwine Katie brought along her new Disney Princess fishing pole and matching tackle box. Yes, matching. Doesn't every 3 year old need a matching Princess fishing pole and tackle box? (Note: Bass Pro Shops has LITERALLY everything fishing related...for all ages.)
Anyways, Papa has been so excited to take Katie fishing - he finally got his chance. We thought the creek at home was a good place to start. She could practice casting a few times and get her line wet. There was no hook and no bait, but Katie didn't know the difference.
Papa wasn't exactly sitting in the best location (right behind her - while she was casting). I'm guessing he won't do that once there is an actual hook attached. But he was giving her some good tips - just like he did with me when I was a little girl. With Papa's guidance, Katie was eventually casting by herself - and doing a pretty good job.
Katie pitched a Royal Fit when I told her it was time to leave Woolwine. "But why do we have to leave? Why do we have to go back to Roanoke?" (Yes - why is involved in almost EVERY sentence these days.) She loves it so much there and I'm so happy we are closer and can visit Woolwine more often. Katie loves the wide open spaces with plenty of room to run and roam free.
