Yesterday was a "stock up the pantry" day. Mom & I ran errands. The "boys" all played around the pool and paddled in the rain. Of course, that was after Dougie awoke at 11:30 and Ian just after noon...
Today, Stefan was our sleeper, arising at a mere 10-ish (OK, Ian woke-up about four minutes before...).
The boys played around in the pool with Grammie and Pop while Eric and I took a good walk down the way. We were on the hunt for some new swim trunks for Dougie. The two pairs he has now have completely faded seats - one just shows HIS faded seat (a bit of DDD: Droopy Drawer Disorder).
One of the highlights is Pole Fishing. They LOVE catching the fish!
If you notice the rain-drops on the pond, you will understand why these pics are from the vantage point of the bridge across the way... Mom and I took refuge of an umbrella!
Dougie had the same look on his face when I asked him to hold the fish - only it would have been described as "Pure Horror"...
Ian fished and caught an Ian-sized fish
Stefan caught a Stefan sized fish
Daddy caught a Daddy-sized fish?
The real fun happens when they feed their fish to the Night Heron. Dougie screeches - Horror or Delight?!? Stefan had a couple bounce off the lawn and back into the pond - much to the Heron's chagrin. Ian... well, see for yourself:
When we were done at the pond, Ian kept feeding fish - to the chickens. He introduced himself to another little boy his age and offered up some goldfish. They both fed the chickens - and themselves. The fact that Ian had not washed his fishy hands were (ick) overlooked and, of course, not shared, with the other boys' parents...
I wonder if the fish tasted a little fishy?!?
