Today Lily got her first fishing pole and caught her FIRST FISH!!! It was such a fun day to see her enjoy something that Jeremy and I both LOVE. We got her a princess pole with a fake fish that she spent a lot of time learning to cast. AND SHE CAN!!! She can actually cast.
Here is Lily reeling in her first fish ever out of the lagoon, the same place where her mama caught her first fish 29 years ago!

She ended up with a count of 3 for the evening!
Here is Lily practicing casting and reeling! SOOO cute.
This past week, we packed up the Red Ban and headed down to Florida to see our dear friends, Mary and Jerry. We had a GREAT time, though the actual driving part was a lot...

my favorite conversation at the beach: 
Mary played with Lily for a long time at the beach - it was so cute.
