Aiden went fishing with Daddy, Uncle Ben and Nora during Caleb and Jayna's reception. They caught several fish (about 6 inches each) but then threw them back into the pond. Here's Aiden kissing the fish before he thew him back into the pond.
In an attempt to get another shot of Aiden kissing the fish, we asked him to just smell the fish. He wouldn't do it. Adam told him it smelled like strawberries so he smelled it again. It didn't smell like strawberries. Why did we make him do that?
Aiden really enjoyed fishing and he was super excited that he actually caught a fish. But you know what he enjoyed even more than fishing? The simple act of throwing rocks in the pond. Anytime I bring up the fishing story and how he caught a fish all by himself he talks about how he threw rocks in the pond and how the rocks made a big splash.
Nora wanted to hold baby Sky. Sky didn't mind at all. She likes hanging out with Nora and Aiden. Sometimes if she can't join in the game, she just cheers them on.
There was a kids play zone at the reception. This kept Aiden occupied some of the time. If he wasn't playing in the kids zone, he was running towards the pond which made us all very nervous. I think everyone at the party was amazed at how much Aiden ran and how fast he ran.
Aiden and Nora walking down the path to the fish pond. Its great that these two get a long so well.
Caleb and Jayna's reception had a WWII theme - here Aiden is wearing one of the sailor hats that were provided at each table.
Here is a fussy Sky. As the night wore on, she got very tired and cranky. She is also coming down with a very bad cold (same one Aiden has).
Aiden, boy, I can tell you will be a great fisherman! I wouldn't want to smell the fish either, but my Daddy taught me how to fish and it was always fun to be with Daddy. I loved the picture of Nora and Sky hugging and playing together. I cried when I had to miss the reception, I had looked forward to it for so long, but the children had a great time from the pictures. Nora and Aiden are just precious running down the road holding hands. Pictures sometimes say a thousand words. There is one thing that is FOR SURE, the Rossi children are very, very lucky to have such great parents!
