This evening during Mark's prayer it was simple to know what caught his attention in our family walk to the pier at Lakeside, OH on Lake Erie. Mark begins with strong, "Thank you God" and ramps right to the chase with,
"thank you for the BOY with the BIG FISH [1]
and the GIRL with the fish.
thank you for the ORE SHIP carrying ROCKS from the quarry [2]
thank you for the funny golf cart*"
[1] This is no reference to feedings of the multitudes but rather about the boys fishing at the end of the pier who were catching some bass and perch. When asked by 'the Thief' how big the fish he saw was, Mark made the proverbial 'this big' gesture. There was also a high-school aged girl fishing who caught a very pretty silver fish.
[2] From the pier we could see a large cargo ship that was coming into the shore east of Lakeside. There is a marble quarry there and the ship, called an ore ship by our fisher-friends, said that it would carry out marble from the quarry. Mark's Lego's became rocks from the quarry when playing before bed.
* The petitions may have continued, except that my prayerful attitude was broken by the distraction that Mark had 'petted' a fish and needed to wash his hands and the he also hadn't brushed his teeth. We did finish the prayer, but perhaps didn't explore it as much as would have happened otherwise. 
We traveled to the pier in the wagon today.
If Adam doesn't look too happy there, he did enjoy the trip. Here's some proof that he had a good time today (ravioli):
