For Fathers Day we went to platoro again and went fishing. The weather was a lot nicer this time and we caught fish!! We caught fish in the evening and then ate some soup, chili and chips. We slept in our tent and early the next morning (this morning actually :)) we went down to try for some more fish. Jonathan and I were not having much luck. We were not even paying attention to Autumn. Jonathan gave her a pole, bobber and some fish eggs on a hook. I let her have ten feet of string so she could put the bobber in the water. I went to go talk to Jonathan a little ways down the shore and we heard some splashing. And there was Autumn, reeling in a fish! All by herself! I ran to go help her but she had it on shore by the time I got to her and she was saying "Lookie!!! I got a fish!" She is a natural outdoorswoman. She has a good eye for stuff too. When we drove back home she spotted a deer and some ducks before we could see them. We had so much fun and we can't wait to do it again.
My fishing pole story: After we fished in the evening we hid our poles by the water so we didn't have to pack them so far and we knew we would be the first by the water in the morning. But this morning when we went down we were missing my pole. Jonathan had left a fly and hook 6 inches in the water from the shore. And a fish decided to be very brave and take the fly and my pole! It was pretty funny. Luckily, my pole broke the day before and wasn't working very good so we were not too terribly sad. We just never thought a fish would go for that fly soo close to shore.
