Fishing! Popa has been talking to Rex about fishing for months and I have taken Rex to the park and had to drag him away from other people that are fishing because he would just go and sit next to them and watch them fish instead of heading to the playground to play. Finally we were able to head out and fish. Popa went and got worms (because we read a book that said that's what fish eat) and he got his license and we headed to the lake. So here we are finally fishing and you want to know what Rex does...runs away, throws fits, wants to play, feed ducks, anything but fish. Serious kid you have been begging to fish for weeks. So we are down at the far end the area we are at feeding ducks (someone else gave us a piece of bread) when Popa caught a fish. Then he was kind of excited.
We went to see the fish and he did try and pick it up and touch it at first.
This is him say "fish". It looks like he is grossed out or something but he was just excited that he had a fish.
So now that we have the fish we realize that we don't have pliers or a 'line' or whatever it is called that you put the fish on and leave in the water so I have to run back to Popa's house. Good thing we were close. He did talk to another guy that was fishing by us and borrowed a line until I could get back. While Popa was gone talking the fish would lay really still and then jump up and down and go crazy and then be really still and then go crazy. One time while it was being still Rex went to get really close and it jumped and almost hit him in the face as he was bending over and it scared the daylights out of him. After that he didn't want anything to do with the fish.
So the next day Popa went and got my nephews and my niece and they went fishing again. We met them up at the lake. It was pretty cold so I planned on taking the little ones home after they played for a little bit. They didn't catch any fish but it was still fun.
Rex was a little more interested in the idea of fishing but I think it was more because Alex was there. He really likes Alex and makes sure to tell me about it when ever he is around saying, "I like Alex" after they have spent time playing together. It's super cute. So glad to have such a fun time with family fishing this weekend.
*I have more picture to post about the rest of the weekend but they are still on the camera so they will have to come later.
