fishing with Grandpa

The blazing heat finally let up a bit yesterday and we piled into Grandpa's fishing boat.  This is the first time this summer that we've been able to go fishing at Grandpa's lake and it's sure fun!    The big one got away from both Tucker and Kenedy but Tucker got to reel in a really big (17 inch) bass.

We had a great time! The lake is quiet and breezy.  The kids certainty felt the thrill of the catch.  We even saw a giant dead carp floating slowly toward shore.  I wish we were able to fish with Grandpa more often.

We headed back as the sun set behind the mountains.  Grandpa gave Tucker his belated birthday present, we gave him big hugs and took off for home.  

This is the new version of Life with jobs that kids want.  Ha!
