Just Fishing

Lindsey and her family were here for the weekend, and we try to enjoy each and every moment when they visit.  On the kids last visit, we took them fishing, and while we had a blast, Pop realized we had simply outgrown the boat!  Also, Papa still enjoys fishing, and the regular fishing boats were just a little hard for him to get in and out of.  So, what does Pop do? He finds a pontoon boat,  cleans it up, adds a big trolling motor, and we are set!! Caleb and Taylor spent the afternoon with us, but weren't able to go fishing with us.  Other than that, this was a perfect trip!!

Everyone anchors down, and we are ready to go!!  Reed and Lillian set up near the minnow bucket, which is good!  Every single minnow was loved on several times!!

We actually lost count of how many fish we caught!!  Maddie is a natural!

Reed enjoyed touching almost everyone!!


Lillian and Lindsey caught several!

Good job girls!!

Papa and Maddie were quite the duo!!  Maddie caught  several on her own, and she also enjoyed helping Papa pull his into the boat!!

Lillian had the most important job on the boat!  She was the minnow girl!!  She would dip right in, grab a minnow and take it to where it was needed!

 With his snack in one hand and the other hand in the minnow bucket, Reed was quite the helper, too!

I'm not sure who had the most fun between these two!

These two had a pretty good time, too!

Not just having fun - making memories!!

A quick little kiss for good luck!!

What a fun day!! And this one is growing up way, way too fast!!

The very best thing about memories is making them!!! This was one of those days I pray they never forget!

And while we were getting down and dirty, these two were getting all gussied up to have a little fun at the Aliceville Museum!
