Fishing w/ G & G

Jeff's parents invited us on a fishing trip, it was short notice, but we pulled it all together and we had a great time. The kids loved fishing and became pretty good at catching them. Landon and Owen just played around on the boat and Grandma kept them entertained and happy. Jeff and his dad both caught pretty big catfish, but croppy is what we were catching a lot of. Madie caught a small bass, but it was under the required size so she threw it back.

Madie and Ethan turned out to be pretty good little fisherman

Papa giving Madie fishing lessons, Grandma keeping Owen entertained, the child fishing rod we brought kept Landon very busy, Grandma brought some books for the kids to read and Ethan read and reread them.

Jeff caught double fish about three times (what a show off :)

We all had a great time hanging out on the boat and the kids did so much better than I thought they would. Even Owen did really well, he didn't sleep much, but stayed pretty happy and he loved "driving" the boat. Thanks so much Grandma and Grandpa for bringing the boat up and sharing some special time with us. We'd love to do it again sometime.

Looks like good times! I'll have to show Adrian the picture of Jeff's catfish, I think he'll be pretty impressed...and maybe a little jealous! ;)

How fun! It sounded like my parents had a great time too. Tell Madie and Ethan I'm impressed! Tell Jeff that he could've done better. :)
