While Kade and I were at a basketball tournament, Erik and Mason were fishing.  Erik sent me pictures throughout the day and they progressively got "more Mason".  Those of you that have ever been near a lake, stream, pond or puddle with Mason know exactly what I mean.  For those of you that haven't, see pictures below.

Very first picture bright and early in the morning.  You all may be looking at his fish, I on the other hand, immediately zoomed on that object floating on the left side of the picture.  Wondering what it is?  It's Mason's croc, floating away.

Thankfully Erik noticed it, chased it downstream, and got it with a long stick.

While fishing, they ran into our buddy Porter!

Still early, still dry.

Shocking, Mason is in the water!

Still in the water, but not too bad.

Aaaaaand....there it is.  That's my Mason!!

He caught a Porter!

Kade tried band this year.

He played trombone.

He didn't like it.

He didn't practice.

He's not going out for it next year.

We made him stick it out til the end.  This is the end of the year band concert.

Where's Kade, you ask?  Great question!  We couldn't see him the entire time because he was hiding.  And I'm quite certain he was pretending to play.

Ope, they had to stand up to take a bow!  There's no hiding him now!

Tall kid under the hoop.

Unfortunately after all that fun, Covid hit.

We made it 2+ years.

Mason got it first, it didn't do too much.  He has spring allergies too so it was hard to tell what was Covid and what was allergies.

Erik also tested positive and he just had cold symptoms.

I'm not sure how but Kade and I managed to avoid it!  Fingers crossed it stays that way!
