Boating is in the blood

The love for boating and fishing has been passed down through our family for generations. Connor is already finding a love for fishing and Papa's boat. Connor had the opportunity to go fishing with Nana & Papa while Mommy was at work this past weekend. I'm sure the pictures will make it pretty clear--Connor loved every minute of it!

Mr. Freckles was loaded up with sunscreen & ready to cruise!

Connor's favorite part of the ride through the canal is the "tunnels" aka going under the bridges.

King of the water!

Connor could play for endless hours in the bait well.

Uncle Craig met up with them on the water and gifted Connor a few shiners. Connor was in Heaven catching his fish and shrimp!

I adore fishing photos of Connor and his Papa.

Another fish under Connor's belt...the trout!

They stopped for a little beach break. By the time they loaded up and headed back home, Connor had so much fun that he was good and passed out on his Nana within minutes!

When they arrived back home, Connor woke up to see me at the dock! He was so excited to show me his fish and shrimp in the bait well. We made a fun game out of catching the "jumpers" and catching the "goners." Mommy had to touch all the jumpers, since they were alive and flopped too much for Connor's comfort. Connor loved handling the goners aka the dead ones. We convinced Connor to toss the bait overboard, but he couldn't let go of all of his fish. He kept one goner. "Connor and Goner" played on the dock for awhile. A long stinky-fish-smell-on-hands while!

Meet Goner.

Connor had a wonderful time on the boat & can't wait to go fishing with Papa again soon!
