Catch of the Day

Jonathan got to help Uncle Jason plow the beach today with his cub cadet tractor. This is the first time Jonathan has gotten to drive an actual tractor and he thought he was hot stuff. Uncle Jason had a lot of patience with Jonathan. Diana started making this really fun face lately.  I call it her intense look and Auntie Heidi caught it on camera to show everyone!  She makes it quite frequently but can't figure out why she does it.  Diana got to experience her first boat ride today.  She was actually very content and didn't fuss about her life jacket at all.  Although it did tip her over when she tried to stand with it at first.  Uncle Jason let Jonathan help drive the boat too.  The horn is still Jonathan's favorite part of the speedboat.  After the boat ride, the boys provided entertainment by trying to catch fish with nets.  Of course it turned into a competition.  I was impressed with the number of fish that were caught.  Jonathan even caught one off the end of the dock with a fishing pole.  To top the catching of the day, Daddy caught a painted turtle.  Diana was very interested in the turtle...she kept going over to the bucket and saying "Ohhhh" and pointing at it.  She also tried to put sand, sticks etc into the bucket so then Jonathan decided the turtle might be hungry and shared some of his popcorn with it.  Jonathan met a new friend today.  A little boy named Sam, 5 years old, was staying at the cabin next door.  Instantly Jonathan and Sam became friends and played very well together.
