Ayva's new fishing pole

Saturday Josh came home from the store with a surprise for Ayva. Her very own Dora fishing pole and she loved it. I couldn't separate her from her pole. So of course we had to go try it out. We went to this smaller lake just 15 minutes south from our house and the girls had a blast. Cheyenne playing in the sand and Ayva playing with...well....everything!

This is her new fishing pole.

Cheyenne loved the sand.
Ayva fishing with her new pole. She was actually pretty good at it.
So dad cast her line out and stuck the pole in the sand and after a while Ayva decided to check on it. So Josh and I were busy watching the other poles and I looked over and Ayva was reeling in her line and next thing I saw was a little fish flopping around.
She actually caught her very first fish all by her self.

We didn't catch anything really except for those tiny fish and also believe it or not, turtles. Josh caught two turtles. Crazy! He said that was a first for him.
It was an interesting afternoon and we topped it off with a very good dinner at Panera. YUM!
