Fishing...

A few weeks ago Oliver came up to spend a couple days at Grammie and Papa Wayne's house...so while he was here papa Wayne loaded everyone up and brought them fishing! Elsie was so excited...it was on her "list" to go fishing this summer...I think she quickly discovered the idea of fishing was far better than really doing it!

 Oliver got into fishing about as much as Elsie did! At least Oliver was willing to stand kinda close to the fish so we could get a picture...

 All that was caught were little tiny fish...but still to big and scary to the kids!

 I think Elsie last about 3 min holding the fishing pole...then she was done. It was really not her thing!

 There were some other kids fishing on the dock also...and they were overly willing to take the fish off the little girls hooks for them...and I stood there and willingly let them do so. Not that I don't completely enjoy the slippery, slimy fish! {any ideas where Elsie gets her love of fishing!?}

 Jon came with us...3 days post surgery. He made it out the end of the dock with no crutch...but was starting to hurt, so he walked all the way back to the car to get one...because goodness knows he wouldn't let me go get the crutch for him! He was rather sore the next day!

 Emma was a brave one and held the fish!! I think a certain little niece might have been quite proud of her auntie for doing so!

 Love this picture...all the kids huddled around the poor fish flopping on the dock. James touched the fish was terribly grossed out...he doesn't like slimy things. {Remember the worm!}

  A fun afternoon of fishing with Papa Wayne... after fishing we all walked across the lawn to beach...
