Pictures from Oliver

Yesterday morning we went to the duck park (specifically, the "duck park with deep water and big rocks", if you ask Oliver). Aunt Anna spent the night at our house last night, so she got to come along before she headed to work. While we were there, we met a very nice fisherman who waded into the 50 degree water to rescue Oliver's "fishing line" (a long piece of yellow rope) as it floated down the creek. After Oliver and I went to thank him, Mr. James told us that he has actually caught a mako shark, several barracudas and a great white shark! And next year he's planning a trip to the Great Barrier Reef to see more great whites. (FYI, he releases the sharks and other big fish back into the water.) Oliver practically stood there with his mouth open while Mr. James told us all about the fish he has caught. It was so neat that we just happened to be in the right place at the right time to get to hear his stories about fishing!

Here are some pictures that Oliver took with my camera yesterday:
