Despite a very damp, rainy day Saturday Simone got to participate in her first fishing contest near grammy and pop's house with all of her cousins. It was her very first time fishing ever. And she had an amazing time!
But it wasn't long before she got a bite and reeled in her very first fish! I got part of it on video, which I just love. Simone is actually a pretty stoic kid particularly when she is impressed or excited. But the shriek she let out while reeling in this fish-- although brief-- is possibly the most outwardly excited I've ever heard her. Just sheer joy. She quickly recomposed herself, but you could tell she just couldn't be more thrilled. She was smiles ear to ear!

| She didn't hesitate one bit in touching her fish. She was curious about it's slimy texture. |

She also didn't mind touching and playing with the worms, although daddy needed to bait her hooks. |
In the end the girls only caught all of two fish, but the whole experience was super fun nonetheless.
And they finished the contest with hotdogs and chips before heading back home to play. Simone loved it and is ready to go fishing again!
