On Saturday, October 17th, we went out on a full day deep sea fishing trip. Thanks to Jessica's dad, who chartered the boat, we were able to fish with just our family. Grandpa Larry, Grandma Vickie, Great Uncle Rod, Great Uncle Mike, Cousin Jason, Auntie Brandie, Uncle Sean, and all four of us met at 5:30 AM at H & M Sportfishing and boarded the Daiwa Pacific. Thanks to Nick the cook, Shooter, Scott, and Captain Ken we all had a great time fishing! Sorry to Michael and Grandpa Larry we somehow didn't get any pictures of them with their fish. We all managed to catch something even if it wasn't a fish, Uncle Mike caught a bird and the bottom but still had fun! Olivia had a great time just hanging out and coloring or watching movies in the galley. It seemed like one of the crew was always with her coloring or playing! It is pretty funny to find the Captain and 2 crew members sitting at the tabel coloring in the Fairy Coloring book. It would have made a great picture. It was a great day for everybody!

Grandpa and I had such a wonderful time and we thank all of you for making it a very special day. We are so proud of Jacob and his fishing ability and also what a good girld Livie was with her coloring, napping and playing on the deck. Maybe we can do it again! Love, Grandma Vickie
Great pictures, and what a wonderful trip this was!! Everyone enjoyed it. Lots of fantastic memories, and we are so proud of Jacob and his 15 fish!! Yeah, Jacob!!! Also, Livie is such a good sport and so fun to be around. What a good girl! Love you all!

So cool! A cook and an all day boat adventure? Sign me up!
You guys caught a TON of fish - so fun!
Anyone spend too much time over the railing? That's always my fear... :)
