Last Wednesday we stopped at my parents house for a bit.
Grandpa took Katrina and Samuel outside while Fanny and I worked on something inside.
When we were ready to leave Katrina came running to tell me that Grandpa had given her some "walleyes."
I was confused but then she showed me some rubber worms and I figured he gave her the worms so she could catch some walleyes.
Well, what Grandpa didn't think about is that 4-year-old girls take everything literally.
So, bright and early Thursday morning, Katrina was ready to go catch some fish with her "walleyes."
She came into my room and asked when Grandpa was coming to pick her up to go fishing.
As far as I knew there was no plan for a fishing trip, but not wanting to disappoint Katrina, we got on the phone to the three finest fishermen we know: Uncle Nick, Uncle Shawn and Grandpa.
DISCLAIMER: The order of our phone calls does not represent their fisherman finery.
No one was available.
Much to my chagrin, Katrina was devastated.
Until...
She received a phone call from Nana saying that Grandpa was able to go now and if she got all ready, Nana would come and pick her up and take her to the house so Grandpa and her could go fishing.
Well, you have never seen a little girl go from sad to happy faster than I saw Katrina!
She ran upstairs, got her "walleyes" into her "most fishing-looking purse" and got dressed in her finest fishing attire.
She went outside on the deck and found her Barbie rod and reel in the toy box and stood at the edge of the driveway waiting 20 minutes for Nana to arrive.
Grandpa took her fishing that afternoon and although they did not catch anything, Katrina was in paradise.
She loves her grandpa and if you must know, her grandpa loves her.
He even gave her a dollar for her good casting.
I have a pretty good feeling neither of them can wait to do it again.
