Lake Michigan!

It's a fighter!

Here is Andrew with one of the many fish he caught this summer using his new Spiderman fishing pole!  Not so sure what the goggles are for (it may have been raining, and he felt those would help?)  But he was too cute, pulling in a fish and shouting "Mom!! Look!  I got one!  This one's a fighter!" Joe and I both enjoy fishing, and look forward to many more family fishing days!  It remains to be seen whether or not Natty will take up the sport, but for now she happily tags along and yells "fishy!" when anyone reels one in to shore.

 We made many visits to the 'peep peeps' this summer.  Natty loves them from afar.  Joe picked up a pretty rhode island red and the kids came up with the name Hot Tootie for her.  Now any eggs we get are known as "hot tootie eggs' regardless!
