Heavy Fish

When we were in Grand Haven over Memorial Day Jonah and Sam caught a bunch of salmon with John and Grandpa Bill. The kids were super excited to show us all of the fish in the cooler. We took a bunch of pictures and dumped the fish onto the grass. Then John moved the cooler out of the way and got everything ready to start cleaning the fish. We told the boys to put the fish back into the cooler so that they could get rinsed off.

Sam worked his little butt off and carried the salmon across the yard to put into the cooler. He sweated and grunted and used up every ounce of energy he had. Jonah just watched. Then John asked Jonah to help Sam and Jonah went right over to the other side of the yard and dragged the cooler over so that it was right next to the fish.

That story perfectly demonstrates the personalities of Jonah and Sam. Sam is a hard worker, but does not necessarily do things the easy way. Jonah never does more than he needs to and is always looking for ways to simplify things. Together they make a perfect pair.

This video is so funny. I laugh every time that I watch it!
