that all digits are intact after a weekend camping with the granddaughters.
And a priceless smile upon catching her first fish. No matter that it’s completely covered by my hand taking it off the hook…

Good set from a good granddad, Mark!
Thanks Mike, though I can’t take credit for the shots; those are from my wife’s i-phone 7.

Nice set. I remember the smile on my grandson's face when he caught his first fish. I'm glad I was there to get a photo. I'm sure you felt the same.

Yes indeed I did, partly because neither of her parents is fishing-inclined, but to be fair they’re doing a great job raising these girls. Thanks for viewing.

Great set, Mark. The first image made me think of the old comedy sketch “when I shake my head, hit it”. 😊

Thanks for viewing Joe, and thanks for recalling that old sketch; I also remember that. I swear that one of the girls thought if they hit my knuckles with the axe, the tent stakes would go into the ground.

Camping and fishing with your granddaughters, it just doesn’t get any better than that. I have two granddaughters so I share your enthusiasm as does every other grandfather.

Good times & next time invite a medic along also. Most likely the kids will remember this for the rest of their life's.
