June somehow came and went. Mason had swimming lessons for 50 minutes for two weeks. This was the first time to take them and he loved them. He isn't as afraid of the water and doesn't mind going underwater now. He passed on to level two, which i'm sure will be more teaching of strokes and not just going underwater for toys and holding his breath! The weather wasn't the best, but it was never canceled, just a little cold a few of the days but the water was heated so he didn' t mind.
The last week in June my Aunt Mary and Uncle Marley came up from South Carolina for 11 day stay, so the kids and i packed our bags and headed for the farm to stay out there, since they were staying with my sister. Mason had a great time entertaining them and of course fishing!!
Mason goes in spurts as to whether he will sit and fish or if he wants to play. Some days he won't keep his line in the water more than 10 seconds and he gets bored cause the fish aren't biting! But not this day.. he was all about fishing, especially since Granny A was right by his side to help him take the fish off. He thinks he is big enough to do it and would probably try, but i can just see him putting that hook thru his finger, so we will let the grownups do that for now!!
Mallory of course had to get in on the action too!!
He thought the fish were biting better on this side
Marley and Pete were out on the pond for a couple hours.. pretty successful
Course Mason didn't do too bad himself on the dock...
Then the kiddos 'helped' them clean the fish!! This was the first time we have had a fish fry from the fish in the pond. We usually throw them back, but this time they decided it was time to start keeping the bigger ones and enjoy them! And boy were they good, and this is coming from a girl who doesn't like fish!!!
