a june weekend at the lake...

 this was a happy day...

I love watching my kids use their imaginations...

in June they had lots of time to play in the backyard.

They loved using our sleds and a water hose to make a water slide...

The Big Catch!!!

On the last morning of our Memorial Day beach weekend,

the boys went fishing for amberjack.  

Something hit the line, and they knew it was big!

 It took a joint effort for an hour and a half to reel it in!

 But it wasn't an amberjack!!!

When they got it up to the boat, Michael tied it up.  

After driving the boat for awhile and being assured that it was no longer a threat, Michael was able to pull him into the boat.

 It was 6.5 ft long!!

 with the jaws..

Memorial Day!!
