Today my grandparents, Jack, Emma, and I all went fishing at Roaring River State Park. We've gone there plenty of times before, but Jack is officially older now. I can tell. In previous years he's been much more interested in playing on the playground, throwing rocks into the water, or eating very nearly an entire sack of *puffy Cheetos during the day as opposed to partaking in any of the actual fishing business. But today he was quite the little casting man and also a great assistant to have at the net whenever I caught a fish. And I did... FOUR TIMES!!! (A little shameless bragging there.) We all had a wonderful day.

This was about the only moment of the day that Emma was alert. A rippling river and a comfy Grandma combo make for a drowsy set of events.
What an assistant, I'm tellin' ya.
Proud and posing.
A classic incredulous Jack facial expression when he sees something that he finds particularly impressive... in this case, some big fat fish.
My favorite picture of the day.
I didn't mean to imply that there wasn't any playground playing,
or puffy Cheeto eating.

I love Jack's Puffy Cheetos mustache he's sporting in a picture or two!
ReplyDeleteWow, the fish look great! What fun!
ReplyDeleteFor the first time, I REALLY see Jim in Jack. He resembles his dad so much in the "incredulous facial expression" picture. It's really unnerving. *Mom
