Miri and her fish.
Originally uploaded by jwwl.

This fish pictured was the first of 6 fish that Miri caught yesterday. We went fishing with Jerry and Tricia and started it off with a great picnic prepared by them. We had a lot of fun and Miri didn't want to leave when it was time to go. She was really into the whole experience and didn't hold back from anything. She wanted to bait her own hook with the worms ( I couldn't let her do anything that dangerous on her own though) and she wanted to get the hook out of the fish herself. "Sorry Mr. Worm" is what she said whenever a worm was hooked :)
She also released the fish on her own, holding them with a wet towel to protect the fish's scales and not harm them too much. All the fish we caught were a type of Brim, perhaps Bluegills but the wikipedia pictures don't quite match up.
We should be fishing again next Saturday when Miri and I plan on camping overnight at Lake Sylvia. Miri is so excited about it that she's already started packing! I better get started on the packing list...
l8r!
