Fishing Lessons

About a month ago Melanie got the idea in her head that she wanted to go fishing with Gramps.  I'm not sure where the idea came from, but she voiced this desire to him, which I'm sure he was pretty pleased with.  Not long after that he stopped by one evening to give Melanie and Claire their very own Dora and Lightening McQueen fishing poles.  Since then Matt has given Melanie her first "fishing lesson".
