James first picked up a pole and went fishing after he turned two. After he
turned three it
became an obsession.. we were hoping it was just a phase.. but two years later it's still going in full-force. Papa's love of fishing lives on in James. Unfortunately, Papa missed our fishing party -- although I know he was there in our hearts. There was no other choice for James 4th Birthday but fishing, but it was really too early to really fish and the idea of a dozen or so 4 year olds fishing with hooks, well that w
asn't going to happen either. James and I designed his invitations with a fishing scene with stamps and embossing powder. For the party we created James fishing pond in our backyard. We set up the kiddie pool and bought several sets (enough for each child to
take one home) of magnetic fishing poles and fish and lets the kids fish away. We also had a jumper up for the kids to play in as well. For the first time we created an activity for the kids with prizes.. hook the fish on the pole. We made tackle boxes for the goody bags. It was a beautiful day.. almost perfect. If only Papa was still with us.
