How Big?

One fine day we set out to catch a feed How lucky are we to live in this country

Nana and I sang a song

And we watched the waves and even saw some dolphins (mummy didn't have the camera ready)

Then it happened! I caught a fish on the lucky pink rod - catching it is ok but who is going to get it off the hook?

Then of course Daddy and Nana wanted to see if THEY could be as lucky as me!

Then I decided it was time to help pop out with the crabbin

There were crabs a plenty this day - mmmm daddy was thinking about chilli crab already

Watch his claws daddy

Big crabs hey daddy?

Any Shells in that one pop?

A shark in a crab pot? I don't believe it

Just as pop held him out for the photo, he gave a jump and almost freaked Sophie out/overboard! She doesn't like sharks!

It was an adventure exploring under the deck

But our day was over and it was time to head for home, better help pop first

You right pop? Need me to drive?????

Dreaming about the ones that got away - she had a HUGE day and still talks about "fishin"

The day after Callan's party Nick, Sophie and I joined nana and pop for a day on the sea - Sophie's first fishing adventure. On the outset I was a little concerned about how long she would enjoy the jaunt, if she would have sea legs or if she would be sick? Needn't have worried at all she took to fishing like an Old Salt and caught the first fish to book - a whiting (nanny would be happy with that). We had a great day, the weather was sensational, the fish and crabs were biting and the company was tops.

Ps as I am uploading these photo's Sophie is beside me narrating her memories of the day - hasn't fogotten a single detail - priceless
