Up North - Day 2

It was a rainy day. But a good day. H and Brian went out on the boat fishing this morning, while C slept in. When they got back, the boys searched for toads again. They also spent a ton of time on the pier fishing for pan fish. They would stick their pole in, and a fish would latch on. It was great. C even caught a large mouth bass (seen above) with his Spongebob Squarepants fishing rod and a plastic worm. How awesome is that? Storm's having fun too. Our little urban dog is turning country. He met up with a big, wet yellow lab today, who taught him that it was ok for a dog to go into the water. He's made it up to his chest now -- that's a big deal considering he wouldn't even stick his feet in this morning.

We did get some bad news today though. Our friend Jeff lost his son Pablo to cancer this afternoon. When they found out about the cancer, he was the same age as C. He just celebrated his 6th birthday. I never met him personally, but Jeff and his family chronicled his journey, and he was the most incredible kid. I can't imagine. Cancer sucks. I made sure to give H & C an extra special hug today.
