Lake Trip 2012 - fishing

J spent Tuesday morning fishing with his grandfather. They got up at 5:30 am and headed out for 4 hours of fishing. He is dedicated. He was rewarded with a good catch.  They came back with 4 big bass, and he reeled in a 19.5" bass.









The rest of the fishing was just off the docks. There was lots of perch jerking. J & A both caught fish at the big dock. B had no luck all week long. Saturday morning before leaving he and Papa went down to the little dock to try one more time. He managed to catch 8 fish, which was very good because otherwise we probably would have heard about it the whole drive home. J caught one more and practiced taking out the hook all by himself.



















I'm told that A did catch fish. I just wasn't there to take pictures of it.

Spring Break 2012 - Part III

Galveston
























We took a quick trip to Galveston, about 60 hours total, but it was jam packed with fun. We spent two afternoons at the beach full of boogie boarding, wave jumping, sand castles & hermit crabs. I was lucky to come home without a new pet. We also did some kayaking and fishing. J caught a black drum and B caught a catfish. We stopped to geocache at a bird sanctuary on our way out of town.

It really was a nice trip. The kids all got along. The parents got along. We got to spend time with good friends that we hadn't seen since our last trip to Galveston.  We can't wait until our next trip to the beach.
