Spring Break at Camp Grinnell

It had been way too long since I had brought the boys to visit Grandma, Gramps and Molly at their house, so we decided to come down for a few days of Spring Break! We arrived yesterday and have been having a fantastic time. Grandma and Isaac had lots of snuggles on the dock while we watched Davis and Gramps do a little boating and fishing. We are loving the weather and all of our time here!
Gramps has been getting ready to teach Davis how to fish for awhile. My sweet Daddy recently went at got his fishing license, and has been reading up on how to catch fish. (I don't think he wanted Davis to be disappointed, but Davis never would be, all that matters is that time that Gramps is spending with him!)
The fish weren't biting so Gramps and Davis headed out on a little cruise on the lake. While they were gone some fish decided to swim by, so when the returned and were trying to fish they were able to get 2 catfish! Davis was definately in shock (and Gramps too) ... we aren't sure that Davis actually realized what a real fish looked like. They aren't quite as tiny as the goldfish you see in a fish tank or pictures in a book!

Davis was very much "stand offish" with the fish. He did not want to touch them and was very happy for them to be put back in the water.

Though Davis wasn't ready to play with his fish, he has been very proud of his accomplishment and has been talking about it a lot.
Davis named his fish "Mr. Fish" Isn't he cute! :)
