Nick and Angie took Joey fishing today at Jewel Lake. They were gone for a few hours in the afternoon, but it was well worth it. Joey caught his first fish today!! It was tiny, and at first he wasn't sure about it, but he finally got the nerve to stand close enough for a picture. Nick forgot our camera, but I am not surprised; I'm the one who told him to bring it, and he doesn't listen to me much.
Angie had her camera, so we at least have a picture documenting the momentous occasion. Before Angie leaves, we will download the pictures from her camera so I will be able to share them later.
When they got back from the lake, we ate dinner, and then Angie was gracious enough to watch the boys so Nick and I could go out on a date. We went to see Pirates of the Caribbean: The World's End. It was good, a fitting conclusion to the series. It's so expensive to see a movie in the theater. We could buy almost two movies for the price of seeing one in the theater. Oh well; it was still nice to get out for a couple hours. Angie said the boys were wonderful, both of them going right down to bed without a fuss. Maybe she should stay with us longer so she can take over the bedtime routine!
Anyway, we are planning on a pretty laid back day tomorrow. Nick and Angie will go fishing one last time tomorrow evening. Nick will have to go back to work on Thursday, and the boys and I will have to take Angie back to the airport. It's sad, because Thursday will be ten months to the day that Angie took the boys and I to the airport to come up here.
Nick made the observation that he only has to work one full week before going back on vacation. He will work two days this week, all of next week (with a day off for the Fourth of July, although he is on call) and two days the following week before my parents come. That time should go by quickly. They will be here in two weeks from tomorrow!!
Have a blessed night.
