Part of the fun of being on holiday is doing things one wouldn't otherwise do.
Harvey J and Ollie wanted to go fishing, and this is the result. Five really nice trout caught from a nearby lake.
Well done boys. Then later, after our delicious supper, the boys treated us to a theatrical extravaganza. A kinda puppet show!
The cast included several bears, a monkey, and a couple of tigers.
I bet they were happy about those fish! That's quite a catch...such cute boys.
ReplyDeleteI don't ever remember getting a catch like that as a child. Do you fish there for your dinner as well?
ReplyDeleteNo... I go to the fishmonger, I prefer salt-water fish.
DeleteI bet they weren't caught with a worm on the end of a safety pin - that nearest fish is huge - well done indeed.
ReplyDeleteMy job was gutting them... and cooking them, of course.
DeleteYes, excellent fishing . . . but even better "the link within" took me on a tour of previously posted artwork . . . A fine start to the day.
ReplyDeleteWhat a thrill for them. I wonder what they used as bait.
ReplyDeleteI have no idea... I stayed at home.
DeleteHow very sweet...what kind of trout?
ReplyDeleteSalmon trout, I think. They were pink fleshed.
DeleteThey did a fine job! Love how they retreated back to the safe life of stuffed animals inside after all that hard work.
ReplyDeleteI need to take Liam fishing again. The last time we tried it, he kept walking around knocking into people, flinging the hook precariously. He wasn't actually interested in catching a fish, just walking around with that pole. He's older and wiser now.
It stories like these that make fishing well worth it. Thanks for sharing. :)
ReplyDeleteSounds like a wonderful day! I bet the story line for the puppet/stuffed animal show was first-rate, too.
ReplyDeleteHow adorable!! A puppet show!
ReplyDeleteAnd the fishing trip, what a catch! Grands are so much fun. I know you are enjoying it all like a good grandfather.
