Norah News: Fancy Nancy meets Nitty Gritty Dirt Band

As you may recall, when Norah was a baby, she loved when Matt sang her a Fishin' Song.   Much like "Put a Penny" that my Dad sang to me, it was a sure-fire way to get her smiling.  It was with this in mind that we hatched a plan for Matt to take Norah out for the first fishing outing of the season - the local sportsmans club annual kids derby!  In each of the previous years the weather didn't co-operate and Norah was just too young to take out in the cold and rain - but this year the forecast was good and everyone was pumped to get out there!  The plan was for Matt and Norah to head over for start time, around 8am, and Roddie and I would join them an hour or so later when it warmed up a little.

As you can see below, Norah was decked out and as fancy as ever and ready to catch her some fish! 

Unfortunately the weather was against us again!  More specifically, the time of day and year.  Even though the day turned out to be beautiful and warm, at 8am it was just too cold for a 3 year old in fancy rainboots.  Rod and I never made it, but we did all have a great day outside nonetheless, and will try again next year.
