Fishing at G & Opa's House

Opa loves to fly fish. However, Jett is not quite ready for that. So, Opa got Jett his own fishing pole, and they decided to fish at the lake by their house. Jett loved fishing! He was certain that they were fishing for rainbow trout. All fish are either rainbow trout or goldfish in Jett's eyes. He really liked the bobber and reeling his line in. We were way too noisy to catch anything! But, Jett was content with catching his popcorn. We baited the hook with corn. Jett didn't realize that it was always the same corn. He had a blast!

Jett was doing a great job!

Tennessee

Jett had a wonderful time with our family in Tennessee! He really enjoyed playing in Mawmaw's pool with Aunt Cindy, Claire, Avery, Brianna, & Addison. Jett & Addison played basketball, and Brianna showed Jett some cool soccer moves. Jett also had fun with Granddaddy & Uncle Myles. They looked at Uncle Myles' motorcycle & several tractors. Madison got sick while we were there, but was feeling better our last day. Jett had so much fun with Madison during our car ride to Nashville! He's been talking about everyone since we've been back home.




Jett really liked winding up the turtle & watching it swim!

Fun in the Creek

We have had a busy week & a half! We started our trip with a stop in Kentucky to see Pop & Polly, then we made a day trip to Illinois to see Uncle Adam & Aunt Caitlin, Daddy dropped us off in Clifton, TN to visit with Mommy's family, and we finished our trip with a plane ride to Houston & a weekend with G, Opa, & Uncle Indy. Whew! That was a lot! We had a blast, though.

In this post, I've included pictures of Jett from our trip to Grandmother & Granddaddy's creek. He loved the creek as much as I remember loving it! The water was up from all the rain they've had, so we weren't able to enjoy the area known as the "bathtub." Aunt Winnie & Momma took turns carrying Jett through the shin deep water to the flat dry rocks near the bathtub. Jett sure is heavy! The water was cold, but we all enjoyed it very much!
