Afternoon with Mathew

Today I spent the day with Mathew.  He is a very active little boy.  He is obsessed with climbing trees, the only problem is he wants to climb my fig trees which are not the sort of trees to climb.  All he managed to do was stomp around on the new growth that was coming back from root.  I hope they make it.  We did manage to get him into a tree so he could "see the whole world" as he said.  We made "octodogs" for lunch and he ate two, we played cornhole, he played with old toys from the attic and we watched Lady and the Tramp.  He seemed to have a good time and we talked about him coming back when we can go to the lake and go fishing, and he said he would like to go fishing with us.  All in all it was a good day getting to know my grandson.
