Father's Day 2012

Hi y'all!
So this year was Willy's 2nd Father's Day, and this year we went to The Entrance for Fish & Chips and a spot of fishing for Willy. It was a brilliant, sunshiney day, and we had lots of fun!
Here is the onslaught of pics!

We started out with the usual... Open presents in bed before heading down for Breakfast. Jai was very interested in the ribbon.

And he helped Daddy read his card (check out those cute little baby toes! Don't you just want to nibble them? {leaning forward to munch through computer screen}. Yes, me too.

And then Jai helped Daddy open his present... We're not much for spending big $$ on Mother's/Father's Day, so Willy got a 2nd edition of the "Jaimeson photo mug" (one of those photo mugs you can order at BigW) with pics from the last year. I think that will be a yearly thing, cos seeing his last year's mug and this year's mug together in the cupboard is so cute! And Jai loves seeing himself on Daddy's cup and always gets excited {giggles!} We made Willy a hand print little canvas at Playgroup, which is so cute! And Jai drew him a pic. He loved them!
After church it was off to The Entrance for Fish & Chips {licking lips!}

It was really busy down at the inlet-side park, with so many families out for the day! But it didn't feel too crowded out, it was actually a really great carnival atmosphere.

Apparently Will thought we had to feed everyone at the park, cos he bought 2 big packets of fish & chips! You know, he does love to eat! But even this was a bit excessive!

The Lam Fam.
Then after lunch it was time for a spot of fishing, so we headed over the other side of the inlet. Now Willy is not the best fisherman. Our friends call him the "Theoretical Fisherman", cos while he has a passion for fishing, and loves to get up at 5am {shakes head in disbelief} and head off with friends to hit the rivers, lakes or beaches, he rarely catches anything {frowny!} And today was no different!

Willy was trying out his new "sure-fire thing"- using raw chicken breast as bait {ew!}. No joy. Apparently all the lunch-goers on the other side of the inlet had fattened all the fish up with their excess fish and chips thrown into the inlet, so they didn't need Will's chicken! LOL! There was not one fish to be had amongst all the fishermen at the park! The only thing to get a catch was a pelican that swam past! As he scooped up a fish on his way through, all the fishermen near us let out a big sigh "oooohhHH!!" It was funny!

But Will did get to give Jaimeson his first Fishing Lesson! Oh it was so cute {heart melting}! Jai was really interested in the reel and Willy showed him how to pull the rod up and reel in on the way down. Just gorgeous!

So while the fish were scarce, the memories were not {smiles!}
Happy 2nd Father's Day Willy!
