Friday morning we awoke to find that Poppy (my stepdad) had driven through the night to make it home to see the little ones. I think he got into bed around 4:00 that morning and the girls had him up two hours later. This was the first time he had ever seen Jacob and so they had a little male-bonding time. 
The girls were on cloud 9 because Poppy was home ...
and they finally…finally got to go fishing!
Lauren was determined to eat the fish they were going to catch and told Poppy so in no uncertain terms. He told her that was fine and set about teaching them how to cast their new “Transformer” and “Barbie” fishing reels courtesy of PawPaw’s retirement party the day before. We were out of crickets so we decided to just take them to the pond and let them go through the motions of fishing.
This was probably a good idea as they hit Poppy in the stomach with the worm while casting countless times. 
So, we didn’t actually come home with fish but Poppy still fried up some fish he had in the freezer for Lauren.

While the fish were cooking, Poppy pulled out this metal trough for the girls to take a dip in. It was insanely hot this trip and the girls couldn't wait to get into the water.

This is wonderful it all went just that way they could not wait to get their poles and set out to the pond. This was right up Poppys alley. I was so sorry that he had to leave so early Monday morning to get back to work. He told them that he would see them when he finished this job he was on. Love all of the pictures..... Love Mom
