Grandpa Barbs

Today was a really good day.  It's one of those days where you are relaxed, you are with family, and you are just perfect with all that is around you.  We went up north to visit my Grandpa... Finley's Great Grandpa Wayne.  I don't know why but she kept getting his name confused with my Grandmother Barb and kept saying how excited she was to go to "Grandpa Barbs" house today.  After correcting her for the 30th time, I just gave up and today he will be known as Grandpa Barb.

The weather at first wasn't ideal.  The clouds were dark and stormy.  There was rain and lightening, but we didn't let that ruin our day.  No, instead we had a fabulous lunch together.  It wasn't too long after lunch that the sun decided to peak out.  That's when the fun began... we went fishing!

Finley has been begging since spring to go fishing, so fishing we did.  Finley caught 3 fish and Andy and I caught 1 each.  All baby bluegills.  It was fun and Finley got to practice casting.  She was successful in not hooking one of us or a dog.  Plus, we got to discover that Finley does not like live worms or wiggly fish.  She was quite scared of the fish she did catch and it took a lot of coaxing to get her to stand next to them for a picture.  She'll have to toughen up if she wants to go fishing more often.

Here is a great picture capturing Finley's disgust.


Andy caught the biggest fish of the group... Appetizer anyone?

Of course, I have to be the one to catch the tiniest fish. 



As you can see, fun was definitely had.  It was so nice to be out and spending it with family.  How did you spend your day?
