Family Trip to North Carolina

The Bern Bears are speckled throughout downtown. Aunt Linda has one of her own but we weren't able to get a photo of it...

Perhaps some of the most memorable times on the trip were spent in Aunt Linda's backyard, where Carson got to fish for the first time. Dan grew up fishing in Florida so he was right at home with teaching the next generation.

The fish weren't biting too much but Dan got the first catch with this little guy. Carson was quite impressed and excited to join in the celebratory photos before the little guy got tossed back in the lake.

Cousin Tom got the second catch...this guy was much bigger than the first so Carson had to do some exploring. He was a bit hesitant to touch it but eventually got his finger on it and was surprised at the slimminess of it.

A lot of our time was just spent hanging around Aunt Linda's fabulous home enjoying time with family and eating delicious food.
