Tim's Fishing Buddy

Tim was excited to go up to his parents last month for General Conference. He had been wanting to go fishing up there for awhile. He even planned on taking Abbey with him (probably so I wouldn't put up a fight). Sure enough, Abbey was all too excited to wake up bright and early, get bundled up and go fishing with Dad. They didn't have too much success the first day. It was really windy. They were home before lunch. But the second day... they had a blast and weren't home until later that afternoon. I got a call from a proud Tim, telling me how Abbey had caught some fish and didn't want to go home! They had a lot of fun going around in the little boat. Abbey would sing out the "Ariel" song as they went (you know the "Ahh- ahhh -ahh" one). Tim said an older lady on a passing boat laughed at her cuteness. Abbey also had fun playing with Tim's old plastic worms. What girl wouldn't, they have bright colors and sparkles in them! She named all of them too. I think its safe to say that Tim has found a new fishing buddy. Now if only Mike was a little older!

I love seeing Tim's face when he gets home. He looks tired, but so content and happy.

Abbey was a mess, just the way it should be after a long day of fishing in the mountains!

She was so proud to tell us all how she caught her fish.

She may act like a mountain girl, going fishing with dad, but she still is girly at heart. She wouldn't touch the fish for the life of her. That's why she looks so funny in these pictures. She didn't want to be anywhere near the fish! Notice the unsure look directed at the fish and then the frown in the next one! Silly girl.

We left for home shortly after Tim and Abbey got home so we had to leave the fish. She was very concerned where her fish were and that we had left them.
