New Skills :)

Grandpa and Grandma F gave J a fishing rod for his birthday and we recently got it all figured out and Papa taught both J and L to cast on the lawn. Both boys picked it up amazingly fast.. and had a great time 'fishing' the lawn. I was just looking at the lawn in the picture and these were taken a while ago :) The lawn is now green and the cows are grazing it at the moment. Now that I'm thinking about it I believe these were taken on Mothers day!

The longest part of the 'teaching' was Papa trying to remember how to cast. If you know Papa at all you know that he DOES NOT FISH!! He hasn't caught a fish since grade school and has been known to keep an entire boat load of people from catching fish just because he went along :) Or so he says!! He's says he's jinxed and has actually proven this several times.. Once we didn't even MAKE it to the lake :)

But J, L and I love to fish. So Papa takes care of the ones on shore and we go fishing!! When we come off the boat Papa takes over and last time J and L both got to help clean and cook their own fish before eating them. Very good fish!! Grandpa F is looking forward to taking the boys fishing in his boat this summer and J and L ask regularly when they can go fishing!
