Keeping Up with Ron, Sara, Jackson and Addie

Who is the better fisherman?

On Saturday we piled in the car and took off north to Pine City to visit Great Grandpa Jim. Lucky for us Grandma Jan, Uncle Steve and Aunt Kathy were there too! We stopped in town to purchase our fishing license and buy bait and it was off to the boat we went. Kathy, Steve, Ron, Sara and Jackson went down the river to see if the fish were biting. We didn't catch enough for dinner but Sara got lucky and snagged a pretty good-sized sunfish. Jackson helped to take it off the hook and put it back in the water all by himself.

Addie didn't make it out for the fishing trip, but we really wanted to see how she would do on the boat in her life jacket. She wasn't really a fan of the jacket and wouldn't straighten herself out in it, just kept leaning back... it was very strange. After a fun afternoon we headed back home.

Addie don't feel bad, your brother Jackson didn't like to wear a lifejacket when he was a baby. You will get used to it.

Poor Addie, I guess she is just not a fisherman. I am with ya little girl. Jackson is braver than I. I won't touch the fish without a glove.

I don't think it was luck that you caught the fish. After all your a Leier
