Nanny's Fish

Last night I had practice for a mother daughter dance that Bethany has asked me to do in proxy for Echo. I was gone for two hours. Apparently, while I was gone , Nanny cought the World's Giantest Fish. Maybe I should just call it the Pond's Giantest Fish. Up there, that's the pond at the farm. After the pond was made, Nanny had fish put in. Over the years, the fish have grown and we have caught some that were pretty large. Lately, Nanny has been trying a new way to catch giant fish. She puts a little baby carp on the line and uses that as bait. I guess it finally worked.

She looks all business there, but on the inside she is bursting with joy. I would also like to point out that we are not currently going through a cold snap. It was about 90 degrees outside, yesterday.I couldn't get this picture to turn to save my life. Just turn your head a little. Since I was not there when the photo was taken, I can only assume that this picture was taken sort of as a scale. If you know how large Jackson is, then you can see that that is a giant fish.

This picture is evidence that I was not there. I would not be able to watch as my son held a fish like that. It's one thing to hold it away from your body with just one hand but it looks like he is giving the fish a hug. There's not enough sanitizer in the world for those hands. (Mental note: must find that shirt and burn it)


There is that little bit of joy I was telling you about.
