Gone Fishing

Enjoying a picnic in the park.

Finally...we caught a real fish!!!





Yesterday we went for a picnic and fishing at Sesqui. Jack was highly distracted at dinner because we were sitting right by the playground. So he would eat a little, play a little and repeat. Once the picnic was over we headed to the lake to take Jack fishing for the first time. Needless to say it's more work that fishing trying to keep Jack out of the water...and still he got in!! I was feeding Ewan and Jack managed to get by Daddy and sneak in the lake...didn't get too wet, mostly dirty and stinky. The big catch of the night was two turtles...and finally one small fish. Jack had tons of fun.

The boys also had their checkups yesterday. They both remain BIG boys. Jack is 35.5 inches tall (off the charts) and 27 pounds (50-75%). Ewan is 29.5 inches tall (off the charts) and 21 pounds, 2 ounces (95-97%). So Ewan isn't all that much lighter than his big brother. No wonder I get so sore holding him!!!!

We've also been enjoying the holiday weekend. This morning Josh made huckleberry syrup from last year's berry crop. It was delish on pancakes....which Jack absolutely gobbled up. Right now Mommy and Daddy are also enjoying some huckleberry martinis. A delicious new discovery!!!! Tomorrow I'll be making a huckleberry pie to take to a party. That's doesn't even put a small dent in the berry stash!
