Day 175- Fishing

Russell had to work at the JAKES Day today and we were able to take Jackson and Vivienne.  They really enjoyed interacting with the other kids and as we were cleaning up, they invited us to take him fishing.  Russell and Jackson caught a big catfish on the first cast and despite how tired he was, he was really excited. On the way home we stopped for ice cream and Jackson devoured a hot dog and half of the ice cream, he was not sharing.  We then had a relaxing night in watching TV and playing trains and both kids were out by 8:30.  Tomorrow we will find a way to be outside in the afternoon and evening to keep them at a decent bedtime.

Oh Joe, you're so silly (and Jackson is finally taller than him!) 

 All 4 of my kids (Jackson was pretending to be a dog and the dogs were itchy)
