Back in April we went back home to visit Michele's family. While we were there, Sammy's Grandpa R (Poppa) took Sammy on his first fishing expedition. Along with Paul, they went to the Lake Moraine. It was a beautiful day.

Sammy was surprised to find out that New York State has "...plentiful water in 70,000 miles of rivers and streams, some 4,000 lakes and ponds, 2.4 million acres of wetlands, and over 210 billion gallons of groundwater used annually..."

We thought Sammy would last about 20 minutes, but he sat focused on fishing for over an hour and a half with his Poppa. Sammy can't wait to fish with his grandfather again. He didn't catch any fish, but he caught a whale of a good time.
