So, this past weekend we spent the day with my Nana & Papa and Dad at my Papas Rotary Family Picnic. It started out with a fishing derby. The kids were all very excited to catch some 'Cat Fishing' as Griffen and Avary called it all week. I really think that they were expecting to see cats fishing. Anyway, within 10 minutes of being there and getting the hook in the water Jackson caught a HUGE fish! It turned out to be a 24" catfish. He was super excited and totally grossed out! Then it was Griffens turn. He cast the hook out (Craig actually did the casting) and again, caught another fish! He too was super excited, but still looking for the cats fishing ;) Avary had her turn, but didn't catch anything. She was fine with that. She just wanted to know, "WHAT'S DAT MELL?" That is what she yells when she smells something stinky. At the end of the derby, awards were given for various things. Jackson won the Biggest Catch Award and Griffen won the Youngest Boy to Catch a Fish Award! Two very happy boys. We came home with a new skateboard (Jacksons prize) and a new basketball (Griffens prize)! All in all a great first experience. We finished the day with a nice picnic lunch, good talks, some frisbee golf and just hanging out with the family. It was an awesome day! Thanks Nana & Papa!
