Fishing....for Hippos??

Claire's little imagination is constantly coming up with new adventures. Recently, she's been very interested in fishing-with the hose, in the swimming pool. She dips the end into the pool and lets it sit there for a few seconds, then she cranks her arm around like she's reeling in her line, and announces with great enthusiasm what she just caught. The first few times were (fairly) normal catches: a red fish, two blue fish (hmmm, wonder what book she's read??), and so forth. But the other day when Aunt Jamey was over to babysit, the wildlife "living" in the pool changed. Now she catches dinosaurs, rhinos, zebras, and hippos!

Here she is waiting for the bite:

And after a long day of fishing, the pole magically changes into a microphone:

No, it's a big bronze deer. Bronze? Some metal. She was living in the front yard but people tried stealing her, so she was moved to the back. Our mom named her "Paula Ab-doe."

And I love that hippos live in the pool now.
