Fishing and Cake (Day 121)

It's another morning and today we're in the household of Mateo Armstrong as today is his birthday! 

We begin our morning with Mateo's daughter, Katherine, who's up early to make breakfast 


Katherine's aspiration is to be a chef, so she takes every chance she can to whip up a meal and improve her skills 


She makes a fruit salad, and sits down to eat with her parents


After breakfast, Katherine presents her Father with his birthday present 


It's a new outdoorsy outfit, which he loves! 


Mateo thanks his daughter for the thoughtful gift 


Before it's time for her to head off to school 


Leaving Hope to reveal that she's taken the day off of work to spend with him, and she has a birthday surprise planned! 


Mateo feels to lucky to have the two amazing women in his life, and thanks her for being a perfect wife 


Then he heads in for a shower, preparing for his birthday surprise 


While he's showing, Hope packs up his birthday cake 


And preps a lunch for them both 


Done! 


After getting the picnic packed up, Hope changes into an outfit to match Mateo's new outdoor gear 


And then they head over to the coast, where Hope has planned a day of fishing for her husband! 


He's thrilled, as he loves fishing and has always wanted to bring Hope along for a day at the shore 


The couple pass the morning with Mateo teaching Hope how to fish


Catching some interesting bits and bobs 


As well as a few fish! Hope's first ever fish! She's caught a guppy, which she decides to keep as a pet! 


Mateo catches a good few fish and is content with his haul 


So after a few hours of fishing, the couple decide to break for lunch


For anyone wondering, Mateo has a tuna fish sandwich and Hope has a veggie and hummus sandwich - sounds so good 


As they enjoy the packed lunch, the couple chat happily about their morning of fishing and Mateo recaps some old fishing stories 


After lunch and some chatting, Hope and Mateo make their way down to the beach to watch and listen to the waves 


Mateo thanks his wife for a lovely birthday of fishing and enjoying the beach


They enjoy the sunset laying on the beach watching the clouds drift across the darkening sky 


So pretty!


Then it's time for Mateo to blow out his candles! 


And now, Mateo is an elder! Time sure flies! 


After blowing out his candles, Mateo decides to spend the rest of his evening in front of a warm fire with his wife 


They roast some marshmallows


Which look pretty delicious 


Right, Hope? 


Mateo even grills one of his catches from earlier today


Looks delicious! 


After enjoying the grilled fish together, Hope and Mateo head home 


For the final celebration of Mateo's birthday


And then off to bed for the Armstrong family, ending another day 


That's all for today! What will happen next? Tomorrow's Halloween - how will the Armstrong clan celebrate? And is it just me, or does there seem to be a birthday every day at the moment? 

Find out next time!
