Since the day I found out I was pregnant, I think Allyn started having images of teaching the girls to fish one day. Well, yesterday was that day! Since we had plans to go to Kirkley's birthday party yesterday afternoon, Allyn couldn't wait to get the girls "outfitted" for the fishing at Holly's parents' pond. We went to Target and picked out Dora fishing rods. Next it was a trip to Dick's for bobbers and hooks. When the girls took a nap, Allyn made a special trip out to Opelika for crickets and worms. He couldn't wait to take the girls out int he back yard to teach them how to use their new equipment and sharpen their casting/reeling skills. Once we got out to the pond, we were so surprised that both girls were so anxious to hold the crickets (mostly to toss them in the water) and worms.....yes, even Gray! Allyn caught a small fish that the girls loved touching and laughing at how slimy he was. All in all, it was so precious watching Allyn share something he loves with the girls. Maybe there will be more fishing trips in our future:)

So fun! I think Will and your girls would get along great. We are headed to the lake Friday and Will can't wait to go fishing with Daddy. He keep reminding me to pack his fishing pole. Hope he enjoys it as much as the girls.
Ashley,
We would LOVE for you and Allyn to bring the girls to fish at my parents house at Prather's Lake.... anytime! They would enjoy the paddle boat, too. We'll have everyone over this spring!

SO glad the girls got to fish! They were the only ones big enough to do it! :) We'll fish again sometime soon!
