Fly Fishing Mama!


Ahhh!!!! The stars aligned for me to finally try my new Orvis Batenkill reel that I got from my husband for our anniversary last October! Beautiful Sunday afternoon on the Little Red River with fish rising all around us. Allie was playing on the bank with Dada and patiently waiting for her turn to fish while I finally got to give the new reel a spin. Thomas was comfy and cozy in the SportsBaby carrier, which is the only waterproof carrier out there. You can actually submerge in water with it. I would only do that in a controlled setting--which would not be in the river with a strong current! But, it is a great feature because the water does splash and the carrier is quick to dry. It is also pretty comfortable--Little Man is pretty heavy compared to his sister at that age. The SportsBaby distributes his weight pretty well.
We are working with Thomas on keeping his Julbos on! He is going through a phase of pulling them off and putting them in his mouth. He is putting everything in his mouth these days! Luckily the Julbos are pretty indestructable!
Fun afternoon, brilliant fall colors, peaceful river. We must do this more often.
