Living in Cache Valley Utah, we enjoy many wonders of nature. We are fortunate to have mountains in our backyard, lush green trees and evergreens as far as the eye can see. Cali often comments on how beautiful the mountains are when we are driving home from Logan. We have enjoyed the peculiar family of eight deer that live in our hollow just 10 yards from our deck out back. Cali squeals every time they make an appearance. She could sit and watch them for hours. The view of the valley from our front porch is unlike any other. Cali was in heaven when she realized she has a perfect view of the Logan Temple from her bedroom window, perfectly framed by the surrounding trees. Cali loves everything there is to love about nature in this valley. That is, until Grandpa Buist took her fishing. She was thrilled when he asked her to go fishing late last fall. Grandpa even bought a little Cali sized pole and tackle box. She hopped in the car with Grandpa, Grandma and Tallon and knew the deal was sealed when she saw Grandma had brought treats. Grandpa said she loved baiting her hook with bright bait, casting her line into the river and even waiting patiently in her little chair for the fish to bite. Then, the fish bit. Grandpa reeled it in for her and brought it up onto the bank. Cali was watching with wide, curious eyes. Grandpa strung the fish on his chain and held it up for Cali to see. Grandma said she was okay, until the fish started flipping around. (See picture.) After that, she quite lost her enthusiasm for fishing. Especially when Grandpa couldn't stop laughing. In Grandpa's shop, there is a pint sized pole and tackle box waiting for the next unsuspecting victim.
that is so funny!
