Our Colville kids went fishing recently.
It was an epic fishing day for JJ. He caught the first fish of the day.
He also caught the largest fish of the day!
Addy enjoys the fishing part but not the slimy fish part.
Last Wednesday the boat was launched in the lake for a cooling off outing. A beautiful time on the water.
When Gramps and I went over for an amazing lamb gyro meal with homemade pita, gyro lamb meat, and tzatziki, JJ was excited to tell me he swam off the boat in the lake and showed me how far he swam. The lamb that we enjoyed was from the lamb butchering that Gramps helped with last week.
Addy and JJ made dessert for our meal and even hand picked all the raspberries. It was delicous!
Quote of the night from JJ; “Everything is better home made!”
We are hard at work here at our country bungalow getting ready for a garage sale on Friday and Saturday. We still have a lot to do before Friday. I keep finding more things to add to the piles. If I’m scarce on my visits you’ll know I’m busy in the shop pricing items to sell!

Cute photos of the family fishing. Congrats to JJ for catching the biggest fish.
Take care, enjoy your day and the week ahead.
…a fun day that won’t be quickly forgotten.
Love JJ’s observation. He’s not wrong! The raspberry cake looks so good! Your kids do such a great job exposing your grandkids to a wide variety of experiences. I’m sure the family fishing trip was wonderful . . . despite Addy’s aversion to the slimy part! (Cute photo!) Best wishes on your garage sale!
JJ’s words that everything is better homemade is a great observation from one so young. And how wonderful that he caught the first, and largest fish. Exciting!
What a fun time for the kiddos. I love Addy’s expression with her fish. 🙂 When I was her age, I didn’t get to go fishing very often because let’s just say, I loved to talk. lol
I do not envy you at all with the garage sale! We did that twice and I said never again. I hope you have good weather for it.
What a fun experience! JJ is a natural fisherman.
My Father loved to go fishing. Since we lived on the south shore of Brooklyn, in Long Island, he fished off piers. I loved to go along but I wasn;t a good fisherwoman. I often brought a book a read instead 🙂
Fun day of fishing. 🙂
Good luck with the yard sale.
I’m with addy on the slimy part and agree with JJ about homemade. Delicious raspberry pudding 🙂 B x
Love the images – the facial expressions are priceless!
