My Fishing Buddy

 

I had bought Ben a fishing pole for his birthday but we didn't get a chance to use it until later this Fall up at the lake. I was amazed at how good he did with it. After a few tries, he actually was able to cast it out pretty far! He kept saying that he wanted to catch a fish so he could eat the whole thing - head, tail and eyes. Unfortunately, I knew we weren't going to catch anything on this trip because I only put a paper clip on the end of his line (safety first!), and we didn't have any bait on that paper clip either. One step at a time... We'll work on hooks and bait next summer. Casting was our first fun step towards fishing.
