We had one last adventure on this trip: a visit to Uncle Doug's farm!
After the egg hunt, we headed over for a Jeep ride around the property and some fishing. The kids LOVED the Jeep. James remembered it from last time, when we were there in December, but Cora had napped through that trip to the farm, so she missed out.
She squealed and giggled and talked about the "bumpy bumpy" and "bouncy 'deep", then promptly fell asleep in my arms, bumps and bounces and all...
James nearly fell asleep himself...
But once the ride was over, it was time to go fishing! Uncle Gerald and Uncle Doug and Daddy helped James set up some poles and wait for a bite. The cane pole turned up the first fish (a sunfish), and we called it James' catch. He was mighty, mighty proud!
Next time Pawpaw comes to Mississippi the boys will have to go find a pond or lake to spend the morning at. I was amazed at how interested (and mostly patient) James was the whole time (far more interested and patient than I am when it comes to fishing!) - we had to peel him away from the dock when it was time to go!

Sure did miss that part of Easter! But, I guess it was worth it to get back to Atlanta before dark. What a pretty fish James caught!
Alisha has a small pond behind her house that I grant you permission to fish from. Guarenteed to catch a fish!
