Catch up #2

Two of the highlights in August was a visit to the farm by Poppa's big work truck and a first ever fishing trip. We've been home now for a bit more than a week and today after church Little Dude asked to go to Poppa's farm. Took a bit of remembering for him to realize that a 3 day trip is not so easily undertaken and there wouldn't be a trip out to the farm for many, MANY sleeps. He wasn't too impressed with that, but there wasn't much to do about it. :) Here are some photos of the big truck...
Munchkin LOVES to pretend to drive anything. He constantly checks car door handles to see if they're locked...and oh beware the car that isn't...he's inside in a blink and sitting in the driver's seat. He really enjoyed pretending to drive Poppa's big rig.

Little Dude really enjoyed climbing on the trailer. I'm sure he looked at it and could only think, "RAMPS!". And so he climbed them all as high as he could go.


Big E took both boys and one nephew fishing. The boys had never been before and Little Dude enjoyed himself immensely. Munchkin had mixed feelings, due to the fact he was hungry. He kept wanting to eat the bait (mini marshmallows, corn, and shrimp-he stayed away from that last one)! So we had to sit him down and I scrounged some jelly bean from the bottom of the diaper bag.


Little Dude was pretty patient.


His patience paid off when he finally caught his FIRST FISH!

He was a bit nervous about the fish flopping around and so wouldn't hold it with one hand so I could get a picture of his face in the shot!

Of course they were interested in feeling the fish once they were safely in Dad's hands.
