An "Incredible" weekend

Lets just start off by saying this might have been Peyton's best weekend...EVER. Daddy and Pop went on their yearly trip to Talladega this weekend so Peyton and I went to Bossier. We got in Wednesday night and pretty much just layed around all day Thursday at the lake..it was great. Friday was the big day. We were going to see Disney on Ice and we had front row seats!! It was worth every penny because Peyton was glued to those characters. It didn't hurt that the whole thing was based on The Incredibles characters...which are Peyton's all time favorite. He's still talking about it and now I want to go back to Disney World....didn't we just get back though?! ha! I think Saturday was even better than Friday. We all decided that we would get up and "go into town" (never thought I'd say those words). While Maw and I got ready, Paw took Peyton down to the pier. As I was blow drying my hair Peyton came running in the house saying something I couldn't understand. I look over and low and behold Paw is holding a fish....a fish that PEYTON caught!! It was his very first fish. He is officially hooked now and isn't too bad of a fisherman either. We went back down to the pier Saturday afternoon and I managed to catch up to Peyton's record....it only took me 30 years to catch as many fish as my 2 year old. I'm a city girl ok. I only wish that I had my video camera during this fishing experience because Peyton's reaction is priceless. It doesn't matter if he caught a fish or not, he's going to scream every time he reels the line in. And I mean ear piercing screams! It's hilarious and you can only appreciate it if you hear and see it. I think the fish are finally getting used to his screams because we still managed to catch a few even though we were sure he scared them away! ha! So now we're back in the Burg and Peyton is still asking where Paw and fish are. I have a feeling in the very near future Peyton is going to want to spend his summers fishing with Paw. Enjoy the pics and I promise updates from our beach trip soon! Oh and I loaded these WAY backwards..sorry!

This is Peyton holding bait...yet another priceless reaction, but you had to be there.
I think this was probably his 3rd fish he caught...see the horror in his eyes?!

Look at his face closely...THIS is the reaction he had every time he reeled the line in.

Proof that I CAN fish....and look really really bad.
Peyton's favorite spot to fish....with Maw.

Peyton's 2nd favorite spot to fish...with Paw!

This is how lazy people get to the lake...just picking Mom and Dad!

Peyton and his very first fish.

I have no words

These steps were a great place to eat lots of ice cream cones

Mr. Incredible!!

I LOVE the pictures! He looks like he is enjoying every minute of being there! And congrats on the wonderful behavior! I know you feel so good about that! :-) Our boys keep us guessing, right?
And tell your Mom and Dad, they just adopted a new daughter and grandson! HAHA!! :-)

Those pictures are AWESOME! I actually can imagine the squeal of excitement he would do! Hilarious! I think I have a picture very similar to yours when I caught my fish when we went Lake Livingston! I caught this itty-bitty thing, but I sure was proud of it :)
I'm up for going to Disney again--will you win the lottery for us, though?

My boys all love fishing in grandma and grandpa's pond...they are going to miss it the next 3 years. :( BTW - did YOU take the fish off of the hook yourself? :)
