Sadie's Fish

You might need a magnifying glass but there is a little fish on the end of that line. Pap Pap hooked 'em and Sadie reeled him in.

Sadie Fishin'

Dad was so excited to have the kids up to camp for the weekend. It was the weekend of the Snake Hunt and also a good weekend for a first fishing trip. Dad got them each a rod- Caleb's is Spiderman and Sadie's was Barbie (but she doesn't know about Barbie yet so she called it her pink one). Since neither kid had much experience with fishing, and we were standing on rocky shores, next to a creek, I hesitated to put hooks on both rods. We let Dad put a hook and bait on Caleb's rod and Sadie had a weight tied to hers so she could practice casting and reeling. Dad worked very hard trying to hook a fish for them to reel in but it just wasn't happening. He did manage to get one Sat. evening and Sadie got to reel it in (Caleb was sitting in time out). Sadie did a great job of figuring out her reel and was able to make a decent cast more often than not. And several times this weekend we heard her say "Papap, I really, really want to go fishin'." Caleb became very excited about catching seaweed and still squeels about it giggling if you ask him what he caught.

more on the weekend at camp coming soon. now I need to recover :-)

Waldameer 2009






The first of many pics from our day at Waldameer on Sat. Had to zoom in on this one so you could really see the different reactions in the 2 monkeys. #1 looking quite relaxed and enjoying the breeze. #2, terrified.

Sadie Faces



Another Sadie face. This was from last week and I just couldn't resist those sad eyes. This was all play though. I might have a little actress on my hands as this was taken just minutes after the happy one. A little drama queen.
