Gone Fishin'

Today the kids and I went to visit Gigi and Papa.  Being the grandparents they are, they are decorating their house for the kids.  They now have a chair their size to sit at the table.

There is also an art easel and now some newly decorated art pictures for their house.

After lunch there was a surprise.  Papa and Gigi had a fishing pole for them.  Papa likes to spend his time outdoors, so here he is getting the kids ready to go.

Joshua wanted all those in sunglasses to take a picture together.   (Funny story...Gigi and I decided to pull the kids in the wagon.  Wow!  Immediately exiting their driveway there is an uphill climb.  I'm glad Papa didn't have the camera then.  We got a ride with him on the way back home.  Phew!)

Now we made it to the deck to fish.  Tabitha would just throw her line around the deck.  (There are no hooks, just a plastic toy on the end.)  She would reel it in, put her hand on her hip, and say, "Look at my big-o fish.  I'm going to cook it for dinner." 

Papa did add a hook to Joshua's pole, and the bait was worms.  Joshua is totally boy as of today.  Papa asked him once to hold a worm, and Joshua stuck out his hand like nothing.  Then Papa told him to come show the girls.  Once Joshua heard me scream, he didn't stop!  Typical boy, and I love it!  I just don't like to touch worms.

Holding it.

Studying it.

Coming after the girls!

Tabitha, on the other hand, did not want a worm on her pole, and she didn't have any problems telling Papa, "No."  Watch the stages she went through.

Joshua and Papa did catch one fish and threw it back in.

Tabitha enjoyed the butterfly way more than the fish.

Thanks for the great time, Gigi and Papa!
