Swimming at the Minerals Spa, Fishing & Visit to the Sussex County Fair (Photos by Buffy & John Whiting) |
Fun at the Minerals Spa is jumping off the cliff... |
... DadPa swims to meet Mer, Riles and JT... |
Mer says "Am I sure I want to do this?" |
Mer teams up with DadPa to make the big leap. |
DadPa relaxes with JT in the heated pool before heading home... |
...JT and Reilly show off their new fishing poles... |
DadPa helps get the fishing poles ready for a morning of fishing... |
...a pause to take a group picture of the fishermen... |
...then off to the lake to do some serious fishing. |
... everyone works together to get the fishing poles ready. |
Then we dig for some worms for bait... |
Mer shows off the jar of freshly caught worms... |
Mer shows off the jar of freshly caught worms... |
... and DadPa shows the technique for putting the worms on a hook. |
And before you can say "slimy worms" Reilly has caught the first fish. |
DadPa helps take the fish off of the hook as history is recorded. |
Mer helps put a worm on Stephen's hook... |
...and in a flash Stephen has caught a whopper. |
DadPa gives the fish a kiss and returns him to the HV Lake. |
Then it was Lil's turn to haul in a fish... |
Then Mer's turn to catch a fish. Does that fish look familiar? |
A proud fisherwomen poses with her catah. |
"Hey, this is fun!" says Stephen. He caught 13 fish. |
... and of course JT had to prove his skill as a fisherman too. |
Lil shows her patience as she waits for another fish to bite. |
...and her patience pays off. |
JT catches another fish. |
It was a fun day of fishing. 39 fish were caught but its time to head to the Fair. |
One of the exhibits teaches about washing cloths. Recognize anyone? |
There's Reilly using a scrub board just like Denise taught him. |
...and then hanging the cloths up to dry. |
The butterfly tent was fun... |
A butterfly landed on Lil's shoe. |
The fun house was fun too. |
JT shows off his muscles. |
We all enjoyed having fun on the rides...
and then having some home made ice cream before ending a great day at the Sussex County Fair. |
