Outdoor Girl

I have struck quite a delicate balance between the girly-girl playtime and the tom-boyish types of activities. Mom is really thankful for this and loves having opportunities to enrich both sides of my character. Today was an especially big day for me and dad (mom was there, but acting as photographer only). We went to a very good friend of dad's house on acreage not too far from our house. They have horses, a pond for fishing, a garden, dogs, and cats! This was the highlight of August for me and I can't wait to go back.

Here are some great pictures of some of my favorites of the day. I loved feeding the catfish off the dock, and fishing. I liked looking the part as well in my frog galoshes.

Here we are getting ready for fishing! I've been practicing with my pink fishing pole all summer on the driver, now we''re really going to try it out, lure and all. We're going in a John Boat and I'm excited.

We didn't catch anything but it was still a success. One fish actually took my lure! And my friend Miss Hannah caught two fish and I got to touch one! The other part of the day that I really liked was the horses, Malachi and Blue. Malachi is brown and I've named my horse at home after him. I got to pet them and watch them swat at flies, I even saw Malachi buck. Even thouhg I can't ride these horses, I loved them a lot.
