A Day at the Days

Dani, Jonny's girlfriend of a few years, invited us to her place in the country. We spent the day doing everything boys should do all summer long...pure bliss! The only way it could have been better is if our Dad was there. The Days live on a hill with several acres that overlooks a lake which is stocked with 2 or 3 types of fish. They also have horses, cattle, pigs & dogs, maybe a few other animals. After taking a tour, we headed down to the lake.





Mom & I thought we'd spend a few hours looking at the animals, having a picnic, and fishing with Grandpa. But honestly, I have never seen my dad so happy...he was like a kid in a candy store! There was no reeling him away from an afternoon of fishing with his boys. We were all enjoying ourselves & the boys were all so cute, we ended up staying all day! Grandpa and Jonny would get a fish on, then yell for Kaleb to reel it in. He tried casting and waiting a few times, but lost interest in that pretty quick. Collectively, they caught about a dozen fish, but the story keeps getting bigger & better if you ask the fishermen!

The boys also played with newts, worms, dogs, & got a few rides in the paddle boat from Jonny & Dani. Towards the end Dylan would insist on touching all the fish, and then would get upset when they'd toss them back in. Kaleb also made up a fun game where he'd jump into a tube with netting under it, then pull himself back to the dock with a rope. All in all, it was a memorable day with the Days. Thanks, Dani!

We took so many pictures, I couldn't narrow it down, so here's a slideshow. Enjoy!
