Fishing!!!

Look Who Went Fishing!!!

Mommy, Daddy and Grandpa took Gannon on his first fishing trip on the boat. We took him to Englebright Lake and it was gorgeous - while there were high powered winds in Yuba City...there was perfect weather on the lake (lucky us!). It took me a while to let Gannon go out on the boat because I've been a little cautious. I wanted to be certain that he was mature enough to sit still while the boat was moving and that he understood when not to look over the edge, and I also wanted to make sure he was comfortable around large bodies of water. Needless to say, Gannon did great! He was a natural boater - just like his Daddy.

Gannon fished with his very own fishing pole and caught a little perch. He was beside himself with pride and excitement. We were so proud of him. When his little bobber went under, we all yelled, "Get him Gannon!" and he reacted with a great and patient catch. I knew that after that "show" his Daddy was beaming inside with such happiness thinking of all the great moments those two have in store in the coming years...think camping, boating, hiking, rock climbing, etc. Richard loves the outdoors and all parts associated with it and Gannon does too. What a pair. My Dad was so proud of little G too!

Gannon had so much fun driving the boat with Papa, swimming with Daddy, fishing with Mommy and barbecuing hot dogs for lunch. This was his kind of day!!!





Daddy caught a yummy little rainbow trout.





THE CATCH OF THE DAY!!!
