A Thousand Memories Thursday
A few weeks back, Papa took the kiddoes fishin'.
One of Papa's favorite pasttimes.
A local-ish spot, one that I remember going to when I was around My Boy's age.
Only my story ended with a trip to the ER.
You see, the trail leading down to the water was rocky.
I fell and managed to get one of the said rocks wedged in my knee.
I remember the lollipop I got after I got stitched up.
Luckily, no one was hurt on this trip.
Just a long walk to reach the water.
Little rain is at fault for that.
My Boy and his cousin had a blast goofin' around and finally at the last hour, he decided to try his hand at the art of proper casting.
Our little girl, too had a blast exploring, throwing rocks in the water, and then tried to nab a fish or two.
The fish were not biting.
Maybe it was all the rock throwing.
And maybe it was because a little someone couldn't stay out of the water.
Shoes and all.
Scaring all the fish away.
No matter, memories were made and no blood was shed.
Maybe next time!

Great photos of the family, in a beautiful location. It's great that they can have times like that, and create memories of their own. Tara doesn't have a papa!
