So, this was a big weekend for us! Jackson went fishing for the first time…and got to learn from one of the greatest — Uncle John. (aka – Great John.) He even caught a fish! (Which ended up doing the back float after we threw it back. But don’t tell Jackson….he doesn’t know.)
He was so cute and was SO EXCITED. Since we were staying with my parents and Brad was on his “mancation,” Jackson slept with me. He was up until 11pm talking about the lake! He said, “Maybe tomorrow I’ll catch another bluejay!”
“Don’t you mean bluegill?” I asked.
“What?” Jackson said.”
“A bluejay is a bird. A blugill is a fish. That’s what you caught today. A bluegill.”
“Oh,” Jackson said. “Well, are there sharks in the lake?”
“No, Jackson.”
“Oh. Those are only in the ocean? So I don’t have to watch out for sharks when I fish?”
“Goodnight, Jackson.”
“Goodnight, mommy!”
