My, Oh My, Iowa!

Jacob and Bek went to Iowa to visit Bek's dad/Jacob's PopPop. They flew out of Reagan Airport on July 22 in a big airplane. Uncle Doug took them to the airport. It was the first time Jacob had ever flown. He talked about it for days before they left.

He had so very many small and big and large and huge adventures in this exotic, far away land, a land where corn grows in fields as far as the eye can see. A boy could get lost in there just as easily as the mall. Don't go too far, Jacob!

They had a birthday party for him and Emerson because he will turn 3 on August 3, and everybody knows a boy only turns 3 once in his lifetime.

He went fishing with his PopPop on a lake while he was in Iowa, and caught his first fish, but first he had to bait the hook. Hummm! A few night crawlers might be just the thing.

After being very patient the 'big one' finally bit, and Jacob was just the guy to reel him in. What a fine catch, Jacob!

Sometimes most of the fun of fishing is just sitting there with a buddy and talking 'bout life and stuff. Grandpa's are good at that.
