"Snacker"

A couple weeks ago we went on a beaustiful house boat with Jaren's family and Austin caught, killed and ate his very first fish! A little history to this. Last summer Austin asked if we could go fishing so we went and bought all the stuff and took him fishing. His interest in fishing has not died down since then but taken has grown. So needless to say we took the fishing gear on this trip. Well since day one he has wanted to catch & eat a fish. That happenned this trip and the thing was SO WEIRD for me to watch!

After he caught it there was absolutly no emotional attachment to that fish what so ever. In fact he named it "Snacker" becuase he was about to eat it for his snack (it was tiny and the final outcome produced about an ounce of meat). He walked with his Dad, Grandpa and Unlce over to the shore where they then cut off the fish's head, all this time Austin was not at all bothered by it! He watched with excitement as they cooked it and asked his Grandma to please cut up a lemon to squeeze on it. Here are the pictures of the him actually eating his fish! I died laughing when I saw them!

Here is anxiously awating his "snack"!

You can never have too much lemon juice on your fish!

Fisrt Bite!

Austin exact words were "That was ... Lemon!"

I LOVE his face in this picture! It looks like were forcing this upon him, he looks like he may vomit any second but he voluntarily kept eating all on his own! He WAS going to finish that "snacker"!

Ugh! High Five from Dad!
