Adventures with Aunt Shirley

A couple of weeks ago, we went to Bristol to see my Grandmother. Of course we had to go see cool, Aunt Shirley. Of course she had some adventures in store for Jackson.
Aunt Shirley had piles of wood from fallen trees after the ice storm. First, we made a camfire out of some of those fallen brances. (When you are in the country, you can do things like making camfires!)


Then, Jackson FINALLY got to go fishing for the first time! Jackson has been asking to go fishing for a long time. We had told him that he couldn't go fishing until he was a big boy and went poo poo in the potty on a regular basis (and not wait until he had a pull up on for the night time). Well, let's just say it took him a long time for this criteria to be checked off. Then, it was too cold. So, this day was the day! Off we went to dig up worms. No worms to be found! Aunt Shirley had an old jar of formaldehyde worms that we used. We didn't think the fish would bite, but at least it was something!
Jackson LOVED fishing!
It was time to clean up and head back to Grandma's, when we had a mishap. . .

Jackson stepped in the tank! He got just a little muddy!
Since my extended family lives on the Bluebonnet Trail, we had to take some pictures in the Bluebonnets.


Jackson started picking them. When I started to stop him, my Aunt reminded me that it is our land, and he could pick as many as he liked. That's what cool aunts are for, right??
