It was wonderful to see everyone (or almost everyone) for Grandpa's birthday party! The kids are all growing up entirely too fast, and my two think Lucas, Caleb, and Marissa are just super cool. I love it!!
Jeff went by his dad's house to borrow what he had just given his dad for his birthday... a canon. Yes, a canon. What's a birthday party without good ol' redneck fun?! It was a hit, the kids loved it, and by kids I included my uncles. It took no time at all before people were scavenging for projectiles- marbles, nuts, anything that would fit. Man, I love the south!
We took the boys down to the lake and went fishing. Although we tried, the fish were just off on vacation or something. We had a few nibbles, and Addison actually hooked one right at the dock. He just learned to yarn to set the hook... well, when you are fishing right off the dock, you don't need to yank very hard or else... you guessed it... a shiny little brem will come flying through the air aiming right for you! When you are sitting in your Mim's lap during this process, witht he aforementioned shiny fish sailing at her head everything gets a little blurry (and a lot loud). From what I gather, Mim actually grabbed Addison and used him as a human shield against the fish, leading to squeels of "the fish is getting me! The fish is getting me!" and people are rolling around, thr tip of Addison's rod broke, it was all kinds of fun. I was just impressed (sorely disappointed) that no one tumbled off the dock into the water. Ah, if I had only had my video camera...
