Let Go Little Shishy

We went to Lancaster last weekend to hang out with Tricia and Justin for a couple days over my birthday, and we had a blast. It was beautiful weather so we were able to have a lot of outdoor fun. We decided to start with some fishing because Brayden has been begging to go to Uncle Justin's to go "shishing". Of course first you have to find some worms. So the boys went out lifting rocks, searching for worms. (After several minutes of just one worm, Tricia and I thought buying bait at the store sounded like a great idea.)

But finally, they struck gold and found quite a few worms down by their pond.

Then we headed to the neighbors' where Brayden (aka Justin) caught a good number of fish. Some sun fish, blue gill, trout? Okay we'll have to check on the type of fish with Justin.Brayden could cast the line but had the most success reeling in Justin's line when Uncle Justin got "tired." Then Justin would take the fish off the line but Brayden had to pucker his lips and say "Let go little fishy" for the fish to let go.Then Brayden sent the fish back home.

After a great time fishing, we headed back to Tricia and Justin's where Justin had hung a huge rope from one of their trees.On the way however, the boys had to stop and pick a snack from the apple tree.

Then on to the rope swing. After some successes and a lot of urging to go higher and higher Brayden was swinging quite a bit over our heads and laughing the entire time.

It was an awesome birthday and I feel very blessed to have my sister just a few hours away. I can already tell that Aunt Tricia's and Uncle Justin's is going to be the "fun" place to visit. So get ready Justin. Brayden is already talking about his next fishing trip and how Uncle Justin is going to take him hunting on his ranger.
