Going Fishing

Our goal this summer is to do stuff. Yup. You read that right.

We want to try new activities with our kids as a family. For so long, Coops was unable to try most things but lately he is so interested in trying! So we made a bucket list of sorts.

Today…we fished.

The worms went over the dock twice, it was insanely chaotic, but it was super fun! Cooper was able to reel a fish in too and tried to kiss it which gave us all the giggles.

Sawyer swapped fishing stories with two fellow fisherman and Harbie found even more things to throw.

And then in true to Swenson fashion, one of the boys stripped down to their underwear because his shorts got wet and ran around the park until I caught him. He thought it was hilarious. I will not name names. But whew. Never a dull moment.
