Little Miss Won a Trophy!

Tweet

Yesterday we took Little Miss to her first fishing derby. It as a bit on the chilly side, but we dressed warmly. The sun was trying its best to come out. We found a good spot at the pond to fish. Hubby forgot the folding chairs so we had to stand the entire time. He and Little Miss sat on the cement wall, but it was too low for me to sit on. I would have not been able to get up without help. Dang arthritic knees! The derby was just for kids and there was a wide range of kids there. Little Miss was delighted to be able to fish. The adults could cast the line for them and help them reel in the fish. Little Miss helped to reel in her first fish. She didn't want to touch it though. LOL. They brought it up to the measuring table and headed back to the pond where I waited. The second fish was 11 inches long. She was quite proud of the fish even though it was a bit bloody from getting the hook out of its mouth. She caught 5 fish in all, which is the limit. We put 2 small ones back in the water and kept the other 3 to bring home. Little Miss and I went back to the truck and hubby drove us down to the store that was nearby. Had to make a potty run! There were no porta pottys at the event. When we got back, hubby went to check and see if Little Miss had qualified for a trophy. Glad we waited around! She got her picture taken with her trophy. She won for the girl with the biggest fish! How proud she was and we were too.
