Labor Day weekend was spent with Brian's family in Arkansas. Unfortunately our trip was way too fast due to Sunday morning commitments. We left TX Friday around 4 and returned to TX on Saturday around 10 pm. The only good thing about that was the fact that we wore the kids out so much they slept nearly the entire trip. This never happens people. Never.
We spent our day at Grandpa's pond letting Natalie fish again. She was so excited about getting to go fishing again! This time she got really brave touching her fish, holding the worms and pinching them into pieces for her hook! I couldn't believe it. A mere 4 months ago she didn't want to touch the fish because it was looking at her! ha!
As you can see above her first cast yielded a huge catfish! She was giggling so hard as we made such a big deal about it. After that she just kept reeling them in one after another. I think her total was up around 8 or 9 again. I wish the video would work because we captured her casting "style." She got so confident she wanted to do it herself, and every time she would toss it out her little leg would come up in the air with a little kick. Just like a little girl. Grandpa and I got a good kick out of that! No pun intended.
The other part of our time was spent reading, playing with the new toys Grandma brought the kids, watching the Hogs play and eating fried fish (chicken for me), hush puppies, french fries, cornbread and homemade ice cream with peach cobbler! Mercy!
Our quick trip was packed full of fun, food and memories!
