“Go on swings” “One day my mom don’t like to push me”

“And go boating” “and fishing”

“I go with dad and mom and Ryan”

“Go out to my dad’s cabin”

Do you go out a lot? “mmm”

“Some days the water go right here”

I am happy when I catch a fish

Family Feedback:

Emma goes boating and fishing “in the summer” “with her mom, dad, and great grandma.” She goes “at the bridge” “3-5 times a week.”
