Preston has enjoyed going fishing with us over the years. He has spent time throwing rocks in the water, looking for crayfish, dipping his feet in the water, exploring the trails, playing hide and seek, etc. Sometimes, he even tried to fish!
He has helped reel fish in when someone else has got a fish on the line and has always seemed pretty excited about it. We thought that he was happy to go fishing like that, but he recently told us he wanted to catch his own fish, since he had never done it.
We went fishing the weekend before school started and Preston learned to fish! He LOVES going fishing now and asks to go often. He gets so excited when he can cast, catch a fish and reel it in. He typically catches several fish each time we go and he has told us all that he is "so good at fishing." We all love seeing his excitement!
Here is Preston on the day he caught his first fish all by himself!
